6th International IEEE EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering, Nov 3-6, 2013, San Diego, CA

神经工程是一门新兴的学科，它将电子和光子技术、计算机科学、物理、化学、数学等多个工程学科与细胞、分子、认知和行为神经科学相结合，以了解神经系统生物学的组织原理和潜在机制，以及自然界中神经系统的行为动力学和复杂性。为了突出这一新兴学科，第六届国际IEEE EMBS神经工程会议将于2013年11月3日至6日在加州圣地亚哥举行。智力优势：本次会议的目的是强调神经和认知工程的进展，这是一个新兴领域，将分子、细胞、系统、认知和行为神经科学与工程、物理、化学、数学和计算机科学联系起来。我们坚信，神经工程会议将进一步促进神经科学家、化学家、工程师、计算机科学家和数学家之间的神经工程研究和教育。更广泛的影响：除了主题演讲、全体会议、平台和海报会议外，我们还将有一个小组，重点讨论在快速发展的跨学科神经工程领域从事职业的挑战，从被聘用为团队的一员，寻找令人兴奋的新研究机会，到成为团队领导者，以及在组织团队和选择成员时需要寻找什么。将讨论国际和美国国内研究生学习和研究的选择，以及国际研究人员和学生之间合作的潜力。

PI: Metin AkayProposal ID: 1301560Neural engineering is an emerging discipline that combines multiple engineering disciplines, including electronic and photonic technologies, computer science, physics, chemistry, mathematics with cellular, molecular, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience to understand the organizational principles and underlying mechanisms of the biology of neural systems and the behavioral dynamics and complexity of neural systems in nature. To highlight this emerging discipline, the 6th International IEEE EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering will be held in San Diego, CA from November 3 through November 6, 2013.Intellectual Merits: The objective of this conference is to highlight progress in Neural and Cognitive Engineering, an emerging field bridging molecular, cellular, systems, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience with engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science. We strongly believe that the neural engineering conference further stimulates neural engineering research and education among neuroscientists, chemists, engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians.Broader Impact: In addition to the keynote, plenary, platform and poster sessions, we will also have a panel to focus on the challenges of making a career in the rapidly growing, interdisciplinary fields of neural engineering, from being hired as part of a team and findingexciting new research opportunities, to becoming a team leader and what to look for when organizing that team and choosing its members. Options will be discussed for graduate studies and research both internationally and within the U.S., as well as the potential for collaboration among researchers and students internationally.
