Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project will explore computational methods in the brain sciences, with a particular focus on integration of diverse approaches in the context of the study of learning and plasticity in the brain. This will be achieved through a series of four week-long research workshops. We will bring together scientists with experimental, computational and theoretical approaches spanning multiple levels to provide an opportunity for interaction between methodological and phenomenological foci. Each week is organised around a particular thematic level (cellular processes, network modeling, neural coding, functional imaging), with strong overlap from other levels, and with a continuing emphasis throughout the period on questions concerning plasticity and learning, and on computational methods. The sequence is carefully designed to encourage workshop participants to straddle the themes. The daily structure is designed to encourage exchange of concepts, approaches and information through presentations and plenary discussions in the morning, self-organised lunch and small-group meetings in the early afternoon, and a plenary talk and discussion in the later afternoon and early evening. Participants will be drawn from the international science community and UK young scientist community. Each research workshop will result in a survey article for publication and web material to increase access to computational tools.
