Training Workshop Organiser
Dr Mark van Rossum, University of Edinburgh
This is the third annual meeting of the UK Mathematical Neuroscience Network. The network is focussed on using mathematics as the primary tool for elucidating the fundamental mechanisms responsible for experimentally observed behaviour in the applied neurosciences. This three-day conference will provide an overview of the current state of research in mathematical approaches to neuroscience, bringing together both physical and life scientists. Drawing together the field in this way will allow for a critical discussion of the relevant experimental facts and of various mathematical methods and techniques that have been successfully applied to date. Importantly, it will draw attention to, and help develop, those pieces of mathematical theory which are likely to be relevant to future studies of the brain.
The meeting will consist of invited speakers, core members and registered participants. In addition, the schedule will allow for a number of poster presentations.
This event is sponsored by the EPSRC via the UK Mathematical Neuroscience Network
