STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF NEURONAL DATA (SAND8)

SAND 8，第八届神经数据统计分析国际研讨会， 开始于2002年，将于2017年5月31日至6月2日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行。车间 由认知神经基础中心组织，该中心由卡内基联合运营 梅隆大学和匹兹堡大学。讲习班的目标是确定 神经元数据分析中的重要问题以及解决这些问题的有用策略;培养 实验神经科学家和那些受过统计和 计算方法;并进一步传播在 研讨会通过一组同行评审的文章。其他目标是鼓励年轻人 研究人员，包括研究生，介绍他们的工作;让年轻的研究人员接触 在这一跨学科领域的重要挑战和机遇，同时提供一个小的 会议气氛，以促进年轻研究人员与资深同事的互动; 包括妇女、代表人数不足的少数群体和残疾人 他们可能会从小作坊的环境中受益。科学讲座将由 9名主旨发言人、6名小组成员、6名特邀讨论者和12名初级调查员。会 也是一个海报会议，我们预计超过50海报，非正式讨论， 会议旨在帮助新人与资深研究人员建立个人联系， 以及为计算机神经科学领域的女性提供午餐。鼓励所有演讲者 向Journal of Computational Neuroscience提交论文

SAND8, the eighth international workshop on Statistical Analysis of Neural Data, a series that began in 2002, will take place May 31-June 2, 2017, in Pittsburgh PA. The workshop is organized through the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, which is run jointly by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. The 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. Other 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. The scientific lectures will be given by 9 keynote speakers, 6 panelists, 6 invited discussants, and 12 junior investigators. There will also be a poster session, where we anticipate more than 50 posters, an informal discussion session aimed at helping newcomers establish personal connections with senior researchers, and a lunch for women in computational neuroscience. All presenters will be encouraged to submit papers to the Journal of Computational Neuroscience.
