Events
The Network hosts a number of events and meetings aimed at disseminating advances in data analysis to experimentalists. The most recent of these was the network's first Dissemination Workshop, all of the talks from which can be viewed here. Other previous events include an analysis masterclass in Synfire Chains and Spatiotemporal Patterns, more information about which can be found on the Network's wiki, and a workshop on Metrics in Plymouth.
Forthcoming Events
2nd – 3rd June 2010, The University of Plymouth, UK
- Workshop on Spike Train Measures and Their Applications to Neural Coding
This workshop addresses the central question in Computational Neuroscience which aspects of neural firing patterns matter functionally and which may be of less importance. In the past, various heuristic measures have been used to characterise spike train data such as firing rates, interspike intervals, pair-correlations, and so on. More recently, advanced tools have been proposed that more systematically explore coding properties of neurons and neural ensembles. These comprise, for example, higher-order statistics, information-based interaction and complexity measures, spike-train metrics, or detailed computational models which allow to understand and predict spike-timing in neurons faithfully.
