2nd Monash Brain Function Workshop --- Multi-modal approaches to understand brain functions Date: Dec 14 (Mon) 2015, 8:50 to 17:00 Venue: Monash Biomedical Imaging facility Overview The goal of this workshop is to offer an opportunity for neuroscientists from different backgrounds to interact and exchange ideas. Specifically, we encourage participation of neuroscientists who are interested in understanding neural systems involved in perception and behaviour, and those who combine multiple methodologies, such as electrophysiology, advanced signal processing, computational modelling and cognitive neuroscience. Note that from Tuesday (Dec 15) the SCiNDU workshop will take place in Brisbane; the Monday workshop will end in time to catch flights from Melbourne to Brisbane. Registration: $50 AUD ($25 AUD for students & postdocs or those who are affiliated with ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrative Brain Function) - Deadline for poster abstracts and early registration: To be announced - Registration - [to be opened soon!] Organizers: Nao Tsuchiya, Nic Price, Alex Fornito, Jeroen van Boxtel, Gary Egan (Monash University) Contact: for questions about this event, please contact Nao Tsuchiya ( naotsugu.tsuchiya@monash.edu) Keynote Speakers: Peter Dayan (computational neuroscience, - UCL, UK) Zhaoping Li (computational neuroscience, psychophysics - UCL, UK) Speakers: 1.
