Toronto Computational Neuroscience Workshop

Friday, February 12, 2016

The Toronto Computational Neuroscience Workshop, Krembil Research Institute to be held on March 7-8, 2016 at:

Toronto Western Hospital
WW2-301 (Auditorium)
399 Bathurst Street
Toronto, Ontario
M5T 2S8

The goal of this workshop is to bring together the different Toronto actors in computational neuroscience research or at its interface to share their work and to discuss challenges in the field. The research themes will emphasize brain oscillations,neural coding and the dynamics of neurobiological disorders. It is hoped that this workshop will raise awareness of what those in this research community are doing in order to catalyze the development of new collaborations, and research directions.

During this two-day workshop, participants will present a short talk discussing their labs’ research foci and challenges relevant to the computational neuroscience field. ‘Experimentalists’ will be encouraged to present their latest data and how they perceive computational approaches that could support their current research. Likewise, ‘modellers’ will be encouraged to present how their work connects with clinical/experimental inquiries in neuroscience. Through this process we believe this workshop will allow local groups to hear about the ongoing projects in the Toronto area, and simultaneously to get a chance to share their own vision and perspective with the community.

Conference organizers: J. Lefebvre, F. Skinner, T.Valiante
