This workshop will be held at SAMSI in RTP.
Description
The transition workshop for the Computational Neuroscience program is an opportunity for the active working groups in the program to exchange results and share their perspectives on common issues. This workshop is focused on recent research progress that has been made in connection with the many research areas spanned by the CCNS program. Sessions of talks dedicated to each working group will feature presentations by active members. The workshop also seeks to facilitate planning for continuing collaborations on further research questions to extend beyond the period of the CCNS program.
All CNCS participants are asked to acknowledge support in any relevant publications and presentations, “This material was based upon work partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant DMS-1127914 to the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute.” See /forms-resources/crediting-samsi/.
