Workshop on Statistical Analysis of Neural Data (SAND)

神经元数据统计分析（SAND5）研讨会计划于2010年5月20日至22日举行。SAND5将汇集对神经元数据定量分析感兴趣的神经生理学家、统计学家、物理学家和计算机科学家。将有5个科学会议，8名主题研究员和16名初级研究员将发言。还会有海报环节。选定的论文将发表在《计算神经科学杂志》上。神经元数据的统计分析是2002年开始的系列研讨会的第五期。研讨班每隔两年在卡耐基梅隆大学春季举行一次。研讨会的主要目标是定义神经元数据分析中的重要问题和解决这些问题的有用策略；促进实验神经科学家与受过统计和计算方法训练的科学家之间的交流；并通过一系列同行评议的文章进一步传播研讨会上提出的研究结果。次要目标是鼓励年轻的研究人员，包括研究生，展示他们的工作；让年轻的研究人员接触到这个跨学科领域的重要挑战和机遇，同时提供一个小型的会议氛围，以促进年轻研究人员与资深同事的互动；并将妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人纳入参与者，因为他们可能受益于小型讲习班的环境。

The workshop Statistical Analysis of Neuronal Data (SAND5) is planned for May 20-22, 2010. SAND5 will bring together neurophysiologists, statisticians, physicists, and computer scientists who are interested in quantitative analysis of neuronal data. There will be 5 scientific sessions, at which 8 keynote investigators and 16 junior investigators will speak. There will also be a poster session. Selected papers will be published in the Journal of Computational Neuroscience.Statistical Analysis of Neuronal Data is the fifth workshop in a series that began in 2002. The workshops are held in even years at Carnegie Mellon University during the Spring. The primary objectives of the workshop are to define important problems in neuronal data analysis and useful strategies for attacking them; foster communication between experimental neuroscientists and those trained in statistical and computational methods; and 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 benefit from the small workshop environment.
