We are delighted to announce the 2nd International Conference on Mathematical Neuroscience (ICMNS 2016), to be held at the Congress Center in Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera from May 29 to June 1. Tutorials will be held May 29, and the main conference is May 30 - June 1. More details are given on the conference website:

The main goal of the conference is to bring together researchers from math and neuroscience to discuss novel interactions arising between the two fields. The conference is motivated by many outstanding questions concerning brain function and dysfunction across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Studying these questions requires a wide range of mathematical tools, including probability and statistics, stochastic calculus, dynamical systems, functional analysis, geometry, information theory, and numerical analysis. The conference also aims to illustrate that neuroscience is spawning new areas of mathematics.
We encourage abstract submission by researchers from all areas of mathematical neuroscience. One page abstracts will be reviewed by a Program Committee and divided into three categories: featured talks, session talks, and posters. Details are given here:
