Studies of the neural
basis of behavior typically use time-varying stimuli and produce time-varying
neuronal responses. Statistically, the setting involves both continuous
multiple time series and inhomogeneous point processes, sometimes dozens
or hundreds of them observed simultaneously. There are many challenging
analytical issues, including that of combining information obtained from
multiple modalities (including EEG, fMRI, MEG, calcium imaging and extracellular recordings). This
workshop series aims to
- define important
problems in neuronal data analysis and useful strategies for attacking
them;
- evaluate analytical methods by their ability to yield insightful results in
interesting settings;
- foster communication
between experimental neuroscientists and those trained in statistical
and computational methods;
- encourage young
researchers, including graduate students, to present their work;
- expose young researchers
to important challenges and opportunities in this interdisciplinary
domain, while providing a small meeting atmosphere to facilitate the
interaction of young researchers with senior colleagues.
