SYMPOSIUM "Neural Computation: From Perception to Cognitive Function"
OPENING of the Berlin Center for Advanced Neuroimaging
Berlin, October 29th-31st 2012
Organised by:
Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin
Berlin Center for Advanced Neuroimaging
Research Training Group "Sensory Computation in Neural Systems"
Charite Medical School
With this event, the Bernstein Center Berlin and its Graduate Programs will celebrate two years of activities of the DFG-funded Research Training Group "Sensory Computation in Neural Systems". A highlight of the program is the opening of the Berlin Center for Advanced Neuroimaging (BCAN), a new facility that houses two 3-Tesla MRI scanners and that promotes computational techniques in neuroimaging.
For this joint occasion, there will be a number of excellent international speakers (see below). We also invite other neuroscientists from all over the world to discuss their most recent findings and hypotheses in the field of brain computation and neuroimaging.
