COMPUTATIONAL WORKSHOP
Neural Coding, Decision-Making & Integration in Time
Rauischholzhausen Castle
April 26 - 29, 2012

Organizers: Wolfgang Einhäuser-Treyer, Konrad Körding, Julia Trommershäuser

Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
Web: http://www.frontiersin.org/events/Neural_Coding__Decision_Making/1522/All_Events

This workshop brings together researchers from fields of computational
neuroscience, electrophysiology & behavioral neuroscience to discuss
the computational principles underlying neural coding of motor
coordination & sensory integration in time with focus on adaptive
behavior. The topics covered at the workshop include computational
neuroscience, Bayesian statistics, psychophysics, neurophysiology, &
cognitive science. Central to the format of the workshop is the strong
link between computational & behavioral neuroscientists.
A key aspect of all workshop contributions will be the development of
a common theoretical language to be used across behavioral &
electrophysiological experiments. The conference is organized as a
workshop for 40 selected participants. The central part of the program
consists of invited lectures from the fields of computational
neuroscience, electrophysiology & behavioral neuroscience; the meeting
focuses on creating a common language across these disciplines.

Selected participants will be able to present and discuss their work
in a poster session.
Application deadline for workshop participation is December 15, 2011.

-----

A small number of advanced graduate students and postdocs will be
selected to be present at the workshop.
Preferences will be given to applicants who are applying to present a
poster at the workshop by submitting a poster abstract (250 words
max.).
Selected participants will need to register and pay a registration fee
of 500 EUR.
This registration fee of 500 EUR covers room and board expenses at the castle.

Participants wishing to attend should apply by submitting a poster
abstract, either by email or in hard copy by fax to:
