[Joseph Lizier]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the Workshop on Methods of Information Theory
in Computational Neuroscience, at CNS*2017, Antwerp, Belgium.
The workshop will be held over the final two days of the main
conference, July 19 and 20.

Our confirmed invited speakers include the following (schedule available
soon):


      * Selin Aviyente, Michigan State University -- "Directed
        Information: Application to EEG during cognitive control"
      * Lionel Barnett, University of Sussex -- "Information Transfer in
        Continuous and Discrete Time"
      * Karl Friston, University College London -- "Active inference and
        artificial curiosity"
      * Renaud Jolivet, University of Geneva -- "Energy-efficient
        information transfer at synapses"
      * Lubomir Kostal, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic --
        "Reference frame independence as a constraint on the mutual
        information decomposition"
      * Joseph T. Lizier, The University of Sydney -- "Estimating
        information transfer between spike trains"
      * Daniele Marinazzo, University of Ghent -- "Synergetic and
        redundant information flow detected by unnormalized Granger
        causality: application to resting state fMRI"
      * Jil Meier, Delft University of Technology -- "The epidemic
        spreading model and the direction of information flow in brain
        networks"
      * Viola Priesemann, Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and
        Self-organization, Goettingen -- TBA
      * Adrià Tauste, Universitat Pompeu Fabra -- TBA
      * Tatjana Tchumatchenko, Max Planck Institute for Brain Research,
        Frankfurt -- TBA
      * Taro Toyoizumi, RIKEN Brain Science Institute -- "A Local
        Learning Rule for Independent Component Analysis"
      * Raul Vicente, University of Tartu -- TBA


Also, we would like to call for contributions of talks (25 min + 5 min
Q&A). If you are interested in contributing such a talk, please send a
title and abstract to Joseph Lizier (joseph.lizier at sydney.edu.au) by
Friday June 2, 2017.
