Eleventh Annual Dynamical
Neuroscience Satellite Symposium: Neuronal Variability and
Noise
Thursday and Friday, November 6-7, 2003
Preceding the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience
Wyndham Canal Place Hotel, Ballroom II
New Orleans, LA
Neural signals are extremely variable, and harnessing the rich content of
these signals is at the heart of contemporary neuroscience
research. This meeting will address the question, how do we
interpret neural variability and make use of it? Specifically, we
will focus on three areas of current research. First, what is the
origin of neural variability? We will ex-amine this issue at
different neural organization levels ranging from signal units to local
field potentials to fMRIs.
Second, how do we analyze multi-channel recordings? Here we will
review and evaluate techniques that enable network based analysis and
information-theoretic understanding of neural pat-terns. Third, can
neural variability be turned into a rich source of useful
applications? We will bring together a select group of
experts in various aspects of neural data analysis to assess the current
state of the field and provide insights into the development and
application of new data analytic tools.
Invited Speakers Include:
Frances Chance, Mingzhou Ding, Chares Gray, Charlotte Gruner, Randy
McIntosh, Miguel Nicolelis, Steven Schiff, Charles Schroeder, Nitish
Thakor, Jonathan Victor, John White, Matt Wilson & Jonathan
Wolpaw
Special Keynote Address: Catherine Carr
Poster sessions will be held during the second day of the meeting.
