Neural Information and Coding India 2005

PURPOSE

NICI-05 will bring together experimental and theoretical neuroscientists for a small intensive three day workshop. NIC workshops have been held most years since 1996 (history here).

NICI-05 will emphasize cognitive and integrative mechanisms of brain function.

Second, being held for the first time outside the US or Europe, NICI-05 is also meant to facilitate global interactions in computational and systems neuroscience.
