TOWARDS MULTIPURPOSE MODELS OF CORTICAL CIRCUITS - JOIN US VIRTUALLY AUGUST 12-14 Join us for a virtual workshop, August 12-14, 2020, to learn and discuss how we can move towards "multipurpose models" that incorporate the true biological complexity of cortical circuits and faithfully reproduce multiple observables in many different situations. Hear from nearly twenty speakers as they emphasize open and publicly accessible models and associated tools to explore models from the conceptual to the biologically detailed. Dissemination, reproducibility, and free sharing of models and modeling software will be discussed. https://alleninstitute.org/what-we-do/brain-science/events-training/allen-in...
