Dear Colleague, We are pleased to invite you to: *Complex Systems in Neuroscience: Bridging Theory and Experiment* Pittsburgh, USA March 8-10, 2018 This conference is organized by post-doctoral scholars from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh. In this three-day conference, we will bring together theorists and experimentalists from numerous disciplines who seek to understand how properties of neural networks and individual neurons translate into brain function and behavior. In order to encourage interaction and discussion, the conference will involve a series of lectures from renowned scientists, as well as shorter presentations by junior researchers. *Speakers:* Andrea Barreiro (Southern Methodist University) Maxim Bazhenov (University of California San Diego) Paul Bressloff (University of Utah) Nicolas Brunel (Duke University) Carina Curto (Pennsylvania State University) Stefano Fusi (Columbia University) Mark Goldman (University of California Davis) Viktor Jirsa (CNRS, France) Stephanie Jones (Brown University) Juan Restrepo (University of Colorado Boulder) Tatyana Sharpee (Salk Institute) Misha Tsodyks (Weizmann Institute, Israel) The lectures will be held in Ballroom A of the University Club, 123 University Pl, Pittsburgh, PA, 15260 <https://maps.google.com/?q=123+University+Pl,+Pittsburgh,+PA,+15260&entry=gmail&source=g> .
