CONFERENCE: Travel Support for a Computational Neuroscience Meeting on Realistic Modeling, March 31-April 2, 2005, San Antonio, Texas

计算神经科学中的生物现实建模会议摘要生物学家越来越依赖于他们研究的系统的计算机模型来帮助组织实验和解释结果数据。拟议中的会议将召集研究人员讨论一种特定类型的模型：那些基于所讨论系统的生物学准确表示的模型。这种方法产生了高度复杂的模型，需要最先进的计算机、计算机软件和分析技术。会议将在三天内举行。第一天的教程分为初学者和高级两部分，讨论建模技术和应用。第二天和第三天将包括介绍参与构建真实模拟的许多不同实验室正在进行的研究结果。资金将主要用于支付研究生参加会议的旅费，会议将在德克萨斯州的圣安东尼奥举行。

Conference on Biologically Realistic Modeling in Computational NeuroscienceLay AbstractIncreasingly, biologists are relying on computer models of the systems they study to aid in the organization of experiments and interpretation of the resulting data. The proposed meeting will bring together researchers to discuss a particular type of model: those based on a biologically accurate representation of the system in question. This approach results in highly complex models which require state-of-the-art computers, computer software and analysis techniques. The meeting will take place over three days. The first day is devoted to tutorials in two tracks, beginner and advanced to discuss modeling techniques and applications. The second and third days will consist of presentations of ongoing research results from many different laboratories involved in the construction of realistic simulations. Funds will primarily be used to support travel costs of graduate students to attend the meeting, which will take place in San Antonio, Texas.
