Workshop on Statistical Analysis of Neural Data (SAND)

神经元数据统计分析研讨会(SAND5)计划于2010年5月20-22日举行。SAND5将把对神经元数据的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聚集在一起。将有5次科学会议，8名主旨调查人员和16名初级调查人员将在会上发言。还将有一个海报展示环节。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年开始的一系列研讨会中的第五个。这些研讨会每年春季在卡内基梅隆大学举行一次。讲习班的主要目标是确定神经元数据分析中的重要问题和解决这些问题的有用战略；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在讲习班上提出的研究结果。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；使青年研究人员接触到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氛围，促进青年研究人员与资深同事的互动；并让妇女、任职人数不足的少数群体和可能从小讲习班环境中受益的残疾人作为参与者。

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.
