Want to learn more about new and exciting tools for neuroscience research, find new collaborators and discuss your latest results with a cross-disciplinary scientific audience?

Then join us at NI2014 in Leiden, Netherlands, August 25-27! Our program includes keynote presentations by leading computational neuroscientists and workshops on describing synaptic dynamics, building cortical circuits, and modelling in open source collaborative projects.

Keynotes: 

- Margarita Behrens: The epigenome and brain circuit changes during postnatal development
- Mitya Chklovskii: Can connectomics help us understand neural computation? Insights from the fly visual system
- Daniel Choquet: A nanoscale view into the dynamic of AMPA receptor organization in synapses
- Viktor Jirsa: The Virtual Brain: a simulator of large-scale brain network dynamics
- Michael Milham: Emerging models for biomarker identification
- Felix Schürmann: In silico neuroscience – an integrative approach


Workshops:

- The Neuroinformatics of neuroanatomy. Chair: Maryann Martone. Speakers: Trygve Leergard, Jacopo Annese, Douglas Bowden, Mike Hawrylycz
- Building the brain. Chair: Paul Tiesinga. Speakers: Geoff Goodhill, Tomomi Shigomori, Rodney Douglas, Nenad Sestan
- Synaptic computation workshop. Chair: L. Niels Cornelisse. Speakers: Erik De Schutter, Bert Kappen, Alexander Walter, Michele Giugliano
- Open collaboration in computational neuroscience. Chair: Angus Silver. Speakers: Stephen Larson, Padraig Gleeson, Rick Gerkin and Shreejoy Tripathy, Aurel A. Lazar


Also including:

- Special session on big data. Chair: Sean Hill. Speakers: Yike Guo, Asla Pitkanen.
- Symposium on population-based neuroimaging (hosted by the INCF Netherlands Node)
