PhD studentship in Biocomputation Research Group, Centre for Computer Science and Informatics Research, University of Hertfordshire
by Shabnam Kadir May 30, 2018

May 30, 2018

Applications are invited for a *PhD studentship* on *Computational frameworks for high-dimensional neural data* with *Dr. Shabnam Kadir *in the *Biocomputation Research Group* in the Centre for Computer Science and Informatics Research, University of Hertfordshire, U.K. *Project Description* New developments in experimental technology have led to petabytes of raw data being produced by experimental neuroscientists, which are increasingly publicly available, e.g. Allen Institute data http://www.brain-map.org/. In particular, we are in the realm where population recordings of tens of thousands of neurons are feasible thanks to, e.g. a new generation of large dense probes for electrophysiological recordings, imaging using 2-photon microscopy coupled with calcium fluorescent sensors. Large scale neuronal recordings require novel approaches for both processing and quantitative analysis. As well as using techniques from high-dimensional statistics, machine learning, information theory, we aim to explore new approaches from mathematical fields outside statistics, such as algebraic topology. The study of networks is a particularly important topic in neuroscience: neurons communicate with each other electrically via synapses, forming intricate networks. These networks can be studied using techniques from computational topology (e.g. persistent homology, clique topology). These could be used to extract information about subnetworks and assemblies, both from large scale recordings, and via connectomics derived from simulations (Blue Brain Project). We aim in this project to go beyond spike sorting and develop new tools and computational frameworks which would help interpret high dimensional data and interrogate how information is being processed by the brain, e.g. How are sensory stimuli (location in environment, visual and auditory stimuli) encoded? How can we characterise the neural activity associated with memory, attention, decision making and motor control? We shall be collaborating with labs at Imperial, Pennsylvania State University and UCL. More information can be found here: http://www.herts.ac.uk/_ _data/assets/pdf_file/0003/187455/Dec2017-computational-fram eworks-for-high-dimensional-neural-data.pdf *Requirements * We are looking for candidates with the following profile: - Strong first degree in a quantitative field such as mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, computational neuroscience. - Strong programming skills (e.g. Python, MATLAB, C++). - Interest in neuroscience and biology would be helpful. A studentship from the PhD Programme in Computer Science provides approximately £14,750 per annum bursary plus the payment of student fees. Applicants from outside the UK or EU are eligible. Research in Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire has been recognised as excellent in the latest Research Excellence Framework Assessment (2014), with 50% of the research submitted rated as internationally excellent or world-leading. The Centre for Computer Science and Informatics Research provides a very stimulating environment, offering a large number of specialised and interdisciplinary seminars as well as general training and researcher development opportunities.

IEEE Special issue deadline extended!
by Steve Mehrkanoon May 29, 2018

May 29, 2018

Paper Submission Deadline Extended! CALL FOR PAPERS Special issue: Neural Systems Engineering and Mathematical Modelling of Brain dynamics using ECoG/EEG/MEG oscillations and Machine learning methods Journal IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering New Submission Deadline: 01/07/2018 Submission portal: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tnsre-embs Contributions will receive prompt and thorough peer review and will be published online ahead of print after acceptance. In humans, interactions between neuronal circuits, systems and signals among micro-, meso- and macro-scales of brain dynamics underpin the functional organisation of the brain that supports our daily life activity. How efficiently neuronal circuits such as cortico-cortical, cortico-thalamic and thalamo-cortical networks interact among these multiple spatial scales remains to be fully elucidated. Mathematical, computational and experimental neuroscientists apply a variety of methods, techniques and algorithms, both in animals and humans, ranging from single cell recordings to whole brain imaging, in order to identify the core mechanisms that govern the interactions among these scales. Although our knowledge of neural mechanisms, circuits and networks underlying brain dynamics and functions constantly grows, the integration of this knowledge to provide a conceptual framework of emergent behaviour and pattern formation occurring on different levels of spatial organisation remains challenging. Authors are invited to submit original or review articles addressing mechanisms of emergent brain dynamics inferred from the analysis of ECoG/EEG/MEG, on all levels of complexity. Specifically, articles integrating (i) computational neuroscience, and (ii) mathematical models of biologically realistic neuronal networks and machine learning methods are welcome. In this special issue, Guest Editor Dr Steve Mehrkanoon welcomes papers that address many of the challenges of mathematical and computational models of the brain networks and dynamics given the measurement data ECoG/EEG/MEG. The scope of this special issue is interdisciplinary. The list of possible topics includes, but is not limited to: * New developments in computational and mathematical models of mean field theory integrated with ECoG/EEG/MEG modalities. * Multi-modal and combinatorial fusion of ECoG/EEG/MEG data and brain connectivity machine learning. * Development of data-driven machine learning techniques to identify the mechanisms of emergent spatia-temporal dynamics within the framework of network topology. * Development of computational and mathematical models for bridging the scales of brain dynamics. * Cortical network modelling and formal conceptual models of cortical oscillations. * Application of deep learning and machine learning algorithms in functional, structural and effective network analysis and predictive models of brain dynamics. * New cutting-edge numerical analysis and techniques to simulate meso- and macro-scale brain dynamics. * Adaptive mathematical and computational models of network dynamics (e.g., brain development and aging studies). * Statistical methods for assessing individual and population brain connectivity data.

by Emanuele Olivetti May 28, 2018

May 28, 2018

PhD position available (online application details below) Title: Computational methods for longitudinal studies of structural brain connectivity Topic: machine learning / pattern recognition for diffusion MRI data analysis Description: Diffusion MRI provides indirect information of the anatomical structure of the white matter of the brain. Neurological diseases and brain disorders may introduce alterations in such structures. Additionally, after neurosurgery and cognitive rehabilitation, there may be reorganization of the white matter. The goal of this project is to design computational methods to detect and characterize white matter changes over time, disentangling the intrinsic variability of brain recordings from actual anatomical changes, in order to support neuroscientific and clinical inference.

PhD Studentship in Multilevel modelling of neuronal function: combining metabotropic pathways and membrane excitability in-silico for the quick screening of drugs
by Tsaneva-Atanasova, Krasimira May 25, 2018

May 25, 2018

PhD Studentship in Quantitative Pharmacology and Neuroscience: Multilevel modelling of neuronal function: combining metabotropic pathways and membrane excitability in-silico for the quick screening of drugs University of Reading - School of Pharmacy Supervisors: Dr Francesco Tamagnini (Pharmacy), Dr Marcus Tindall (Mathematics & Statistics), Prof Krasimira Tsaneva-Atanasova (University of Exeter, College of Mathematics, Engineering and Physical Sciences). Project overview: Neurons work as information relays. They integrate information received from the environment at the subcellular scale, generating an appropriate electrophysiological response. The understanding of electrical processes happening at the plasma membrane level has been clarified by Hodgkin and Huxley, combining experimental recordings to mathematical modelling of equivalent electrical circuits. However, quantitative models describing the effects of cell signalling on the cellular response are lacking. Adenosine is a neurotransmitter binding both A1 (Gi) and A2 (Gs) receptors. A1 and A2 stimulation results in altered neuronal excitability via K+ permeability changes. In this project, we aim to combine a mathematical model of adenosine receptor signal transduction (Tindall) with the Hodgkin-Huxley model of a neuron (Tsaneva-Atanasova), to generate an in-silico multiscale model of electrophysiological response to chemical stimulation. We will test the predictive capability of the model with whole-neuron patch-clamp recordings (Tamagnini). The mathematical models formulated during the project will utilise the theory of differential equations (ordinary and partial) solved and analysed both numerically and analytically (e.g. dynamical systems theory, asymptotic methods). The successful candidate will be involved in the design and undertaking of wet laboratory experiments for informing the mathematical models. The final aim of this project is to develop and validate a software capable of predicting changes to an artificial neuron based on its exposure to varying concentrations of a given ligand. Eligibility: * Applicants should hold or expect to gain a minimum of a 2:1 Bachelor Degree or equivalent in Mathematics, Engineering or Neuroscience related subjects. The applicant will have a strong background in mathematics and computer coding (Matlab, Python, C++) and a keenness to engage with and learn wet lab techniques (i.e. pipetting, solution making, single cell electrophysiology); * This studentship is open to UK/EU students only. Funding details: * Starts 10/2018; * 3-year award; * Tuition fees plus stipend (Research Council UK 2018/19 rate is currently £14,777). How to apply: To apply for this studentship, please submit an application for a PhD in Pharmacy at http://www.reading.ac.uk/graduateschool/prospectivestudents/gs-how-to-apply…. Important notes: 1. Please quote the reference ‘GS18-018’ in the ‘Scholarships applied for’ box which appears within the Funding Section of your online application. 2. When you are prompted to upload a research proposal, please omit this step. Application deadline: 30th June 2018. Further enquiries: Please note that, where a candidate is successful in being awarded funding, this will be confirmed via a formal studentship award letter; this will be provided separately from any Offer of Admission and will be subject to standard checks for eligibility and other criteria.
