Neural Coding, Computation and Dynamics (NCCD)
August 30 - September 2, 2015
Bilbao, Spain
http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/nccd/nccd15/
The goal of this workshop is to bring together experimentalists and
theoreticians who seek to understand how circuit dynamics underlies
representation and function in the nervous system, and to foster real
discussion. This year the workshop will focus on the interplay between
excitation (E) and inhibition (I) in cortical circuits. The balance between E
and I, an idea proposed twenty years ago to account for the stochastic nature
of cortical activity, has been seminal in the understanding of basic principles
of neural network dynamics. We are seeking talks that, building on this
paradigm, present recent findings on topics such as neuronal variability and
stochastic dynamics, the role of the different subtypes of interneurons,
plasticity and structure in EI networks, brain state and network dynamics, etc.
The workshop will be limited to about 70 people, the hope being to foster real
interaction and discussion.
