4th International Conference on Neural Field Theory (ICNFT)
- The Interplay of Models and Data Assimilation

web page: http://www.inverseproblems.info/icnft2017

-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

July 3-5, 2017, University of Reading, United Kingdom.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Neural Mass Modelling and Neural Field Theory is a growing and very active
area
of research with important applications in medicine and technology.
Activities
range from the simulation of neural populations to the analysis of neural
field
equations, from neural modelling of cognitive and psychological processes
to
controlling artificial devices.

The connection between these models and measurement data, including
large-scale
data assimilation tasks, is of high interest to many researchers and a key
challenge
to move into real-world applications. The integration of models with data
assimilation
is a core milestone of systems to achieve a high-quality forecast skill.
The 4th ICNFT includes a tutorial afternoon with introduction to theory and
practice
of data assimilation by leading experts in the field.

Confirmed keynote speakers:
---------------------------
John Spencer, East Anglia U
Wilhelm Stannert, TU Berlin
Timothy Sauer, George Mason University
Rosalyn Moran, U Bristol
David Grayden, U Melbourne
