Co-organizers:

Erik De Schutter, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology

Jeff Wickens, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology

 

Advisory Board:

Sydney Brenner, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology
Mitsuo Kawato, ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories

Theme:

"Neurons, Networks and Behaviors"

In the previous three years, OCNC focused on the brain's computation at different levels: Bayesian computation by neural populations (2004), learning and prediction for behavior (2005), and single neurons as computational devices (2006). This year, OCNC will be a comprehensive three-week course covering single neurons, networks, and behaviors with more time for student projects.
We invite those who are interested in integrating experimental and computational approaches at each level, as well as in bridging different levels of complexity.
