To apply for funding, you must
register by Mon, Nov 24 2003.
The goal of this workshop is to provide an overview of the current state of research in mathematical and computational neuroscience both to those already working in the field and to those who are considering moving into it. The workshop will focus on neural networks and their properties. Several major themes will be addressed: (1) Oscillations, (2) Waves, (3) Synchrony, (4) Maps, (5) Visual Cortex Dynamics, and (6) Information Processing.
This workshop is supported by:
National Institute of Mental Health
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
National Institute of Biological Imaging and Bioengineering
National Institute on Drug Abuse
Funding
Students, recent Ph.D.'s, women, and members of underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Funding awards are made typically 6 weeks before the workshop begins. Requests received after the funding deadline are considered only if additional funds become available.
