NEXTEN Conference

Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience is currently undergoing a phase of unprecedented growth. Dramatic advances in the ease with which large-scale datasets of behavior, neural activity, connectomic and gene expression information can be collected have coincided with a revolution in the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence-based algorithms to interrogate such datasets. Concurrently, these new datasets are inspiring exciting new developments in mathematical tools for extracting their underlying structure and relationships.

What is the current state of the art in our theoretical/computational understanding of the brain, and what does the future hold?

The Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at Washington University in St Louis invites you to join an exciting line-up of leaders in the field to address these questions.

• Confirmed speakers include Mackenzie Mathis (EPFL), Terry Sejnowski (Salk Institute), Andreas Tolias (Baylor College of Medicine), and Richard Zemel (Columbia University), and ShiNung Ching, Naoki Hiratani, Adam Kepecs, Barani Raman and Gaia Tavoni from WashU, plus several short talks selected from submitted abstracts.
• Over 30 abstracts have been selected for poster presentation. Abstract submissions are now closed.
• The conference will be held in the new 600,000 sq ft Neuroscience Research Building on the Medical School campus, into which ~100 neuroscience labs have recently moved.
