Statistical Analysis of Neuronal Data (SAND4) is a workshop devoted to defining important problems in neuronal data analysis and useful strategies for attacking them. The conference will display novel statistical methods in the context of substantive neuroscientific research, and will highlight problems that require new statistical approaches. Throughout the conference an attempt will be made to discuss the interplay of statistical theory and practice. There will be 5 scientific sessions, at which 9 senior investigators and 16 junior investigators will speak. There will also be a poster session. A special issue of the Journal of Computational Neuroscience is planned for publication of selected papers from the conference.Statistical Analysis of Neuronal Data (SAND4) is the fourth international workshop in the series that began in 2002. The workshops are held in even years at Carnegie Mellon University during the Spring. The fourth workshop will occur May 29-31, 2008. SAND4 will bring together neurophysiologists, statisticians, physicists, computer scientists, and engineers who are interested in quantitative analysis of neuronal data. This workshop series aims to foster communication between experimental neuroscientists and those trained in statistical and computational methods; and to provide further dissemination of the findings presented at the workshop via a set of peer-reviewed articles. Secondary objectives are to encourage young researchers, including graduate students, to present their work; expose young researchers to important challenges and opportunities in this interdisciplinary domain, while providing a small meeting atmosphere to facilitate the interaction of young researchers with senior colleagues; and include as participants women, under-represented minorities and persons with disabilities who might benefi from the small workshop environment.

神经元数据的统计分析（SAND4）是一个致力于定义神经元数据分析中的重要问题和攻击它们的有用策略的研讨会。会议将在实质性神经科学研究的背景下展示新的统计方法，并将突出需要新的统计方法的问题。在整个会议期间，将尝试讨论统计理论与实践的相互作用。将有5个科学会议，其中9名高级研究员和16名初级研究员将发言。还将举行海报会议。《计算神经科学杂志》计划出版一期特刊，刊登会议选定的论文。神经元数据的统计分析（SAND 4）是2002年开始的系列国际研讨会中的第四次。这些研讨会在春季在卡内基梅隆大学举行。第四次研讨会将于2008年5月29日至31日举行。SAND4将汇集神经生理学家，统计学家，物理学家，计算机科学家和对神经元数据定量分析感兴趣的工程师。该研讨会系列旨在促进实验神经科学家与那些接受过统计和计算方法培训的人之间的沟通;并通过一系列同行评审的文章进一步传播研讨会上提出的研究结果。次要目标是鼓励青年研究人员，包括研究生，介绍他们的工作;使青年研究人员了解这一跨学科领域的重要挑战和机遇，同时提供一个小型会议气氛，促进青年研究人员与资深同事的互动;并让妇女、代表人数不足的少数群体和残疾人参加，他们可能会从小型研讨会环境中受益。
