Welcome to the 5th Nordic neuroinformatics workshop
This year the meeting was held in Espoo.
Neuroinformatics combines neuroscience and informatics research to develop and apply advanced tools and approaches essential for a major advancement in understanding the structure and function of the brain.
This workshop is aiming for collecting the researchers to present and discuss their developments in Neuroinformatics. The program will consist of a few invited talks and free presentations. The topics include all fields of Neuroinformatics: modeling, tools and databases.
