Location
Hamner Conference Center, RTP, NC
Description
In this workshop, there will be lectures by experts who will introduce to mathematicians and statisticians the substantive issues on characterizing and modeling connectivity, both structural and neuronal, using various data modalities that capture different facets of brain anatomy and functionality. There will be invited talks from different experts in the area of space-time modeling to discuss state-of-the-art modeling approaches and their limitations; and to identify new lines of research that are motivated by the current neuroscientific problems. Finally, representatives from both NIH and NSF will provide information on existing funding opportunities and future directions of these two institutions. The panel will share their own ideas about how to improve the presentation and organization of the proposals.
