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

Abstract submission and registrations are now open on:

*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, and registrations will be capped at 70. So plan to 
register early!

About 10 abstracts will be chosen for contributed talks. We'll let you 
know which ones shortly after the abstract deadline; definitely before 
the early registration deadline.
