U.S.-Chile Program Workshop on Theory and Methods of Cortical Dynamics; Pucon, Chile

[01:18406]这个美洲项目奖将支持一个由蒙大拿州立大学的Charles M. Gray博士和智利大学的Pedro E. Maldonado博士组织的研讨会，该研讨会将于2002年3月在智利普孔举行。工作坊将聚焦于合作皮质动力学的理论和实验基础，目的是讨论不同的和互补的方法，以提高我们对大脑功能的理解。与会者将讨论描述和模拟神经系统不同结构中神经元活动的理论和经验方法，使用各种方法，从记录大量神经元的电生理技术到尖峰序列的数学分析。这项活动的另一个好处是将先进的系统神经科学和技术引入美国和整个拉丁美洲的学生，用于检查皮质功能。

0118406GrayThis Americas Program award will support a workshop organized by Dr. Charles M. Gray, Montana State University, and Dr. Pedro E. Maldonado of the University of Chile, to be held in Pucon, Chile in March 2002. The workshop will focus on the theoretical and experimental foundations of cooperative cortical dynamics with the goal of discussing different and complementary approaches to improve our understanding of brain function.Participants will discuss theoretical and empirical approaches to characterizing and modeling neuronal activity in different structures of the nervous system, using a variety of methods ranging from electrophysiological techniques for the recording of large numbers of neurons to the mathematical analysis of spike trains. An added benefit of this activity will be the introduction of advances in systems neuroscience and techniques employed to examine cortical function to students from the U.S. and throughout Latin America.
