Broadening Participation at the Computational and Systems Neuroscience Conference (Cosyne)

近年来，对大脑的理解取得了显著进展，部分原因是理论和计算方法在实验设计和数据解释中发挥了越来越大的作用。一年一度的计算和系统神经科学（Cosyne）会议通过为系统神经科学问题的实验和理论/计算方法的交流提供一个包容性的论坛来促进这一进程。这个项目的目的是扩大妇女和其他代表性不足的群体参加科西内会议。旅游奖励和各种拓展活动计划在2012年，2013年和2014年的会议。

Remarkable progress in the understanding of the brain in recent years is due in part to the increasing role that theory and computational methods are playing in the design of experiments and interpretation of data. The annual Computational and Systems Neuroscience (Cosyne) conference promotes this process by providing an inclusive forum for the exchange of experimental and theoretical/computational approaches to problems in systems neuroscience. This purpose of this project is to broaden participation of women and other under-represented groups at the Cosyne meeting. Travel awards and a variety of outreach activities are planned for the 2012, 2013, and 2014 meetings.
