Connectionists: Neural Coding, Computation and Dynamics: last call

[Srdjan Ostojic]

This is the last call for NCCD 2017. The early registration deadline is June 9, after that
registration fees go up (assuming there is space left).

It's too late for contributed talks, but we are still accepting abstracts
for posters, in case you have any late breaking scientific discoveries.



               Neural Coding, Computation and Dynamics (NCCD)
                       September 17 - 20, 2017
                           Capbreton, France

             Towards a mechanistic interpretation of neural data

NCCD17 is the third in a series of meetings focusing on topics in
theoretical and experimental neuroscience.

Techniques for recording and manipulating large-scale neural activity in
awake behaving animals are developing at an accelerating pace. Identifying
the principles of neural processing requires a mechanistic interpretation
of the large amounts of collected data. The aim of this workshop is to
make progress in that direction by bringing together three different
communities: (i) experimentalists performing large-scale recordings in
behaving animals; (ii) modelers specialized in statistical data-analysis;
(iii) theorists working with mechanistic network models. We are looking
for talks that build bridges across these different approaches.

As with previous workshops, our goal is to foster the strong interactions
we believe are so important for this field. So the meeting will be small
(~70 people).

Venue:
Casino de Capbreton, Capbreton, France.
