Each session of the programme will comprise a pair of talks where both speakers are working on the same (broad) theme, with one primarily focussed on experimental approaches and the other primarily focussed on computational approaches. Breaks between each session will allow for plentiful discussion of the work just seen and how it may translate to other circuits and problems in systems neuroscience.
The first evening will be a poster session and wine reception.
Final programme:ISN Workshop Programme
We invite poster abstract submissions from PhD and postdoctoral researchers, for presentation at the evening poster session. Abstracts should be in the area of systems neuroscience, including:
Abstracts should include:

Systems neuroscience has been thrust centre-stage by the extraordinary advances in technology for recording and manipulating neural circuits at single-cell resolution. Yet with this rapid increase in data yield has come formidable challenges in analysing and understanding experimental results. Consequently, a tight integration between experimental and computational neuroscience approaches is increasingly necessary for tackling these challenges. The goal of this workshop is to present the state-of-the-art in integrated systems and computational approaches to key neural circuits, to demonstrate their power and potential.
