4th INCF National Node of Finland Workshop on Neuroinformatics
Special theme: Brain Dynamics for Learning
Time: May 20, 2011 (all-day event)
Location: Neuroscience Center, Viikinkaari 4 (Seminar room B105), Helsinki
Keynote lecturer: Prof. Anders Lansner, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
Purpose of the workshop: Plasticity, formation of memories, and learning are fundamental features of living organisms. This workshop aims to understand the brain dynamics for learning and integrates different fields of neuroscience, from cell and molecular levels to behavioral and cognitive levels, and employs multidisciplinary approaches combining experimental, computational, and theoretical techniques. This workshop also discusses about the future needs of neuroinformatics tool development and funding opportunities.
Program: Invited 30 min lectures, poster session, and discussions on neuroinformatics research and funding opportunities. There will be a poster prize for the best poster presentation. Program and flyer of the workshop.
Registration: Attendance is free, but prior registration is appreciated before May 5th. We have limited seating available so please register well in advance and inform us in case you are not able to attend. To register, please send an email to neuroinformatics@cs.tut.fi and indicate the following items: - full name - university/institute and research group - full contact information - position - indicate (yes/no) if you will present a poster - indicate (yes/no) if you will participate in the evening program starting at 5 pm.

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. The 5th Nordic Neuroinformatics workshop is aimed for collecting the researchers to present and discuss their developments in Neuroinformatics. The program consists of a few invited talks and other oral and poster presentations. The topics include all fields of Neuroinformatics: modeling, tools and databases.
Location: Life Science Center, Espoo, Finland. Time: 27.10.2007 |

Plasticity, learning, and formation of memory are the fundamental features of living organisms. To understand the mechanisms behind these features, it is necessary to employ multidisciplinary approaches combining experimental, computational, and theoretical techniques. In addition, the integration of different branches of neuroscience, from cell and molecular levels to behavioral and cognitive levels, is needed. Finally, the development of new informatics tools should support these tasks.
The aim of the 3rd national workshop is to bring together researchers and doctoral students interested in understanding plasticity and learning in the brain. We invite experimentally, computationally, and theoretically oriented researchers.
The program will consist of invited introductory talks followed by round-table discussions on the needs of informatics in neuroscience. Additionally, a poster session as well as discussions on funding opportunities will be organized.
The keynote lecturers include: Dr. Anthony J. Bell (Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, UC Berkeley) Dr. Tomi Taira (Neuroscience Center, University of Helsinki) Doc. Minna Huotilainen (Cognitive Brain Research Unit, Univ. of Helsinki) Doc. Iiro Jääskeläinen (Dept. of Biomedical Eng. and Comput. Science, Aalto University)
The program consists of invited introductory talks followed by round-table discussions on the needs of informatics in neuroscience. Additionally, a poster session as well as discussions on funding opportunities will be organized.
The final version of the program and flyer of the workshop.
Attendance is free, but prior registration is appreciated before 13.9.2010.
To register, please send an email to neuroinformatics@cs.tut.fi . Please indicate in your email if you will present a poster and/or participate in the evening dinner buffet.

Tour in Finland
The coordinator of the Finnish Node will be visiting main university towns in Finland in 2011.
1. Jyväskylä (Mattilanniemi, Agora, Lea Pulkkisen Sali) 8.2.2011 at 14-15 o’clock. 2. Helsinki (Neuroscience Center, Viikki) 11.3.2011 at 14-15 o’clock. 3. Tampere (Tampere Hall, Tampere) 6.4.2011 at 11.00-11.30 o’clock.
Topic: International Neuroinformatics Organization: Who, What and Why?
Short abstract: The International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF) was established to develop an international neuroinformatics infrastructure, which promotes the sharing of data and computing resources to the international research community. In short, the field of neuroinformatics combines neuroscience research with informatics tools to develop resources necessary for major advancements in understanding the nervous system. Neuroinformatics research is uniquely placed at the intersection of biomedical and behavioral sciences, physical and mathematical sciences, computer science, and engineering. A larger objective of the INCF is to help develop scalable, portable, and extensible applications that can be used by neuroscience laboratories worldwide. The core organization of the INCF consists of The Secretariat, The Governing Board, and The National Nodes. In this presentation, the core activities of the INCF, as well as the role of national nodes in these activities, will be explained in depth. |
