2021 CRCNS Principal Investigators Meeting

计算和定量方法是神经科学的一个长期的方面;然而，最近在扩大数据收集，模拟和分析能力方面的进展正在导致计算思维在这个领域发挥更加核心的作用。这次会议的目标是促进实验和计算神经科学家之间的互动和合作。会议将突出CRCNS获奖者的知识进步和更广泛的影响。通过NSF-NIH-ANR-BMBF-BSF-NICT-AEI-ISCIII计算神经科学合作研究（CRCNS）计划赠款的主要研究者和联合主要研究者每年举行一次会议，报告项目;讨论科学，教育和计划相关问题;并发展一个有凝聚力的研究者社区，代表计算神经科学的许多不同方法。CRCNS研究人员的第16次会议汇集了由该计划支持的广泛的计算神经科学研究人员，包括全体讲座，口头和海报演示以及小组讨论。会议和研讨会定于2021年7月8日至10日举行，将由纽约大学主办。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Computational and quantitative approaches are a longstanding aspect of neuroscience; however, recent advances in the ability to scale up data collection, simulation, and analysis are leading to an even more central role for computational thinking in this field. The goal of this meeting is to foster interaction and collaboration among experimental and computational neuroscientists. The meeting will highlight both the intellectual advances and broader impacts of CRCNS awardees. A workshop will focus on machine learning for large-scale neuroscience.The Principal Investigators and Co-Principal Investigators of grants supported through the NSF-NIH-ANR-BMBF-BSF-NICT-AEI-ISCIII Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) program meet annually to report on projects; to discuss scientific, educational, and program-related issues; and to develop a cohesive investigator community representing many different approaches to computational neuroscience. This 16th meeting of CRCNS investigators brings together a broad spectrum of computational neuroscience researchers supported by the program, and includes plenary lectures, oral and poster presentations, and panel discussions. The meeting and workshop are scheduled for July 8-10, 2021 and will be hosted by New York University.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
