Dear All, Please find below details of the Integrative Brain Function Workshop: Multi-modal approaches to understand brain functions, to be held in Melbourne on Monday 30 June. Integrative Brain Function Workshop Multi-modal approaches to understand brain functions The goal of this workshop is to offer an opportunity for neuroscientists with various backgrounds to interact and exchange ideas. Specifically, we encourage participation of neuroscientists who are interested in understanding the neural systems at the perceptual and behavioural level and who try to combine multiple methodologies, such as electrophysiology, imaging, advanced signal processing and computational modelling. Date: Monday June 30, 2014. (from 9am) Deadline for abstracts: June 9 Location: Monash Biomedical Imaging facility, 770 Blackburn Rd, Clayton VIC, Australia.
