NEXTEN: Envisaging Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience for the next 10 years May 16-17, 2024, Washington University in St Louis Registration and abstract submission for this event is now open (deadline Feb 28). For more details see nexten.wustl.edu Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience is currently undergoing a phase of unprecedented growth. Dramatic advances in the ease with which large-scale datasets of behavior, neural activity, connectomic and gene expression information can be collected have coincided with a revolution in the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence-based algorithms to interrogate such datasets. Concurrently, these new datasets are inspiring exciting new developments in mathematical tools for extracting their underlying structure and relationships. What is the current state of the art in our theoretical/computational understanding of the brain, and what does the future hold? You are invited to join an exciting line-up of leaders in the field to address these questions. Confirmed speakers include Adam Kepecs (WashU) Mackenzie Mathis (EPFL) Terry Sejnowski (Salk Institute) Andreas Tolias (Baylor College of Medicine) Richard Zemel (Columbia University) Abstract submissions for posters presenting current research in the field are encouraged, and some of these will be selected for short talks. Some travel awards will be available for qualified trainees. The conference is sponsored by the Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at Washington University in St Louis (ctcn.wustl.edu). It will be held in the new 600,000 sq ft Neuroscience Research Building on the WashU Medical School campus, into which ~100 neuroscience labs have recently moved (https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/newly-opened-jeffrey-t-fort-neuroscience-res...). The deadline for registration and abstract submission is Wednesday, February 28, 2024 (for those external to WashU). However, due to the size of the auditorium total registrations are limited to 150, and so registration may close earlier than Feb 28 if this limit is reached.
