'Neural data analysis: learning from other disciplines' Workshop

Various Speakers
Venue: Newcastle University, UK
Date: 21^st – 23^rd September 2010

We are approaching: electrical engineers, seismologists and ecologists; those with experience in marketing and economics; and people working on road traffic and computer networks.

The workshop will begin with some brief didactic lectures by neuroscientists aimed at setting the scene, and making sure that all present understand some of the problems in neural data analysis. The great majority of the time on the first two days will then be devoted to presentations by scientists from other disciplines.

On the third day we will break into groups and discuss particular methods that might be applicable to neuroscientists. During this we will have access to computer clusters, running software such as MATLAB. Participants will be encouraged to bring example datasets, and examples of code which instantiates particular analysis methods. We hope that the third day will allow active exploration of what is possible, and seed further in depth collaborations.
