2015-16: CCNS: Challenges in Linking Statistical and Mathematical Neuroscience: October 14-15, 2015
Workshop Information
This workshop was held at Boston University in Boston, MA.
Rapidly evolving technologies now permit the acquisition, storage, and analysis of vast spatiotemporal data sets of observations of the brain's activity which consists of extremely complicated dynamics propagating within the complex anatomy of the brain. To understand this data, modeling approaches that mathematically express scientific knowledge and rigorously connect the observed activity with non-obvious statistical and biological features are required. The primary aim of this workshop is to identify areas of overlap, and potential synergies, in mathematical and statistical modeling in order to advance approaches that combine mathematical,computational, and statistical reasoning in neuroscience.
