UK Neuroinformatics Network Events and Projects

  • 6-7 September, 2007: workshop on International Aspects of Neuroinformatics: plenary speakers will review the state of neuroinformatics in their own country; delegates from the INCF will discuss the possibilities offered by membership.
  • 26 March 2007: workshop on Neural Coding, University of Manchester. Organised by Marcelo Montemurro, Stefano Panzeri and Rasmus Petersen.
  • 15-16 March 2007, workshop on Deep Brain Stimulation, Imperial College, London. An international symposium where researchers from different backgrounds will be able to meet in person, identify the direction of future research, and discuss possible collaborative projects in the DBS field.
  • Winter 2006/early-2007: a questionnaire on the benefits of neuroinformatics to neuroscience is being circulated. This is targetted at experimental neuroscientists.
  • 24-25 April 2006, workshop on Systems Biology Meets Neuroinformatics: five plenary talks and discussions aimed at bringing together leading researchers to explore areas of overlap between the two communities.
  • February 2006: two meetings exploring international neuroinformatics, with a view to the UK joining the INCF.
  • July-December 2005: seedcorn funding for the preparation of the CARMEN proposal to EPSRC on sharing and integrating neural data, culminating in the award of £4.5M funding.
  • July-December 2005: a UK-wide report on neuroinformatics training from undergraduate level to postdoc and beyond: availability of training, availability of funding for training, perceived needs for future training.
  • 27-28 June 2005, workshop on UK Neuroinformatics: three plenary talks followed by discussion sessions aimed at establishing the state-of-the-art of neuroinformatics and identifying important issues for the future.
  • January-March 2005: a survey was conducted to investigate how best the UKNN can serve the community. A report of the findings can be found here.
