Neurodynamics: a workshop on heterogeneity, noise, delays, and plasticity in neural systems

Neurodynamics: a workshop on heterogeneity, noise, delays, and plasticity in neural systems
Mar 5 - 7, 2012
Edinburgh, UK

Registration now open (and will close on Jan 6 2012)

Although mathematical work on Neurodynamics has increased in recent years, the study of heterogeneity, noise, delays, and plasticity needs much further attention.  A firmer mathematical framework for treating dynamical systems with these attributes will pave the way for a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamic states of biological neural networks, and their role in facilitating natural computation.  This three-day conference will bring together experts in these key areas to seed a new phase of theoretical work to develop those pieces of mathematical theory which are critical for future realistic modelling studies of the brain.

The meeting will consist of invited speakers and registered participants, though will be limited to 100 people. The schedule will allow for a number of poster presentations.  This event is sponsored by the EPSRC in association with the UK Mathematical Neuroscience Network (http://mathneuronet.org.uk/).

 

Invited speakers:

Paul Bressloff (Department of Mathematics, University of Utah)
David Cai (Courant Institute of Mathematical Science, New York University)
Dmitri Chklovskii (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Janelia Farm)
Claudia Clopath (Laboratory of Neurophysics and Physiology, Universite Paris Descartes)
Carina Curto (Department of Mathematics, University of Nebraska-Lincoln)
Ila Fiete (Center for Learning and Memory, University of Texas at Austin)
Toni Guillamon (Departament de Matemàtica Aplicada I, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya)
Boris Gutkin (Départment d'Etudes Cognitives, Ecole Normale Supérieure)
Rachel Kuske (Department of Mathematics, University of British Columbia)
Khashayar Pakdaman (Institut Jacques Monod, Université Paris Diderot/CNRS)
Stefan Rotter (Bernstein Center Freiburg, University of Freiburg)
Nicholas Swindale (Department of Ophthalmology, University of British Columbia)
Jonathan Touboul (NeuroMathComp Laboratory, INRIA/ ENS Paris)
Martin Wechselberger (School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney)
Fred Wolf (Department of Non-linear Dynamics, Max-Planck-Institut for Dynamics and Self-organisation)


The registration fee for the conference is 100.00 GBP.

A one-day "Tutorial Day" (covering key concepts in heterogeneity, noise, delays, and plasticity in neural systems) for PhD students and post-docs will also take place prior to the meeting (on Mar 4).  Some financial assistance is available to assist graduate students who attend BOTH the training workshop and the conference.

Further details of this meeting and how to register may be  found at

Scientific Organisers
Professor Stephen Coombes, University of Nottingham
Dr Yulia Timofeeva, University of Warwick

CIRM Semester on Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Neuroscience

Semester on Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Neuroscience

CIRM Marseille

October - November 2011 

Registration from June, 1st to September, 1st, 2011

 

Neuroscience and its applications are greatly developing world-wide and Europe is one of the important contributors to the advancement of this discipline. Because of the variety of topics that it has to address, it is characterized by a very broad inter-disciplinarity and requires the cooperation of actors in several fields of knowledge. 

In this context, the need for developing new theoretical, mathematical, and computational tools can be clearly identified and must be addressed. The purpose of this semester is to present some of the relevant modern mathematical tools through short courses and to explore several facets of the current research through workshops.

Program committee: P. Bressloff (University of Utah), N. Brunel (Université Paris 5), P. Chossat (CNRS - INRIA), O. Faugeras (ENS - INRIA), W. Gerstner (EPFL), V. Jirsa (CNRS - Université de la Méditerranée).

Open access fee waiver

The Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience (JMN) levies an article processing charge of £833/$1300/€1000 for each manuscript accepted after peer review.  

However, if your institution is a BioMed Central member (http://www.biomedcentral.com/inst/) then this cost will already be covered in full or in part.  Moreover, authors from the following developing countries do not have to pay open access fees: http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/authors/oawaiverfund/ 

More good news is that for accepted papers in 2011 we are further aiming to offer fee waivers to those who do not qualify via the above schemes.
