[Comp-neuro] Two PhD positions available at the Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience, University of Waterloo
Two fully funded graduate student positions (M(A)Sc/PhD) are available
immediately in the recently established van der Meer lab at the
University of Waterloo, Canada.
Research in the lab centers around the interplay between
decision-making, memory, and planning, which we approach using
synergistic experimental and computational tools. The lab's newly
outfitted space enables the recording of neural activity from 10s to
100s of neurons, from multiple brain sites, as rodents perform flexible
behavioral tasks.
Possible experimental projects include, but are not limited to: (1) the
role of specific spike timing patterns (theta phase precession, replay)
in the acquisition and behavioral expression of place-reward
associations (van der Meer & Redish, J Neurosci 2011; Malhotra et al.
Rev Neurosci 2012) and (2) the relationship between ensemble states in
the hippocampus, ventral striatum, and subsequent behavior (van der Meer
et al. Neuron 2010).
The lab also hosts computational projects that explore related topics in
spiking network simulations (in collaboration with Chris Eliasmith's
group). These may include, for instance, the embedding of a model
hippocampus in a large-scale functional model of the brain to explore
unifying hypotheses about its contributions to learning, memory and
flexible navigation (route planning).
Numerous opportunities for participating in funded, ongoing national and
international collaborations, as well as summer schools, are available.
Depending on background and interests, successful applicants may choose
as their home department Biology, Computer Science, or Systems Design
Engineering, all of which are compatible with the optional Diploma in
Theoretical Neuroscience.
Background in a quantitative discipline is highly desirable; experience
with rat behavior and/or electrophysiology is useful but not required.
To be considered for an interview, please send a cover letter and CV to
Matt van der Meer, Canada Research Chair in Integrative Neuroscience
(mvdm at uwaterloo dot ca). Informal inquiries are of course welcome!
For more information about the lab and the Centre for Theoretical
Neuroscience, see www.vandermeerlab.org and ctn.uwaterloo.ca.

[Comp-neuro] Brian 1.4: a spiking neural simulator
http:// www.briansimulator.org
The 1.4 release of Brian is out!
Brian is a simulator for spiking neural networks available on almost all
platforms. The motivation for this project is that a simulator should
not only save the time of processors, but also the time of scientists.
Brian is easy to learn and use, highly flexible and easily extensible.
The Brian package itself and simulations using it are all written in the
Python programming language, which is an easy, concise and highly
developed language with many advanced features and development tools,
excellent documentation and a large community of users providing support
and extension packages.
The major change in this version is the addition of a new Synapses
class, which allows modeling everything synaptic: gap junctions,
probabilistic synapses, nonlinear synapses, plasticity, etc. There are
also a number of other new features, bug fixes and improvements.
The web site (http://www.briansimulator.org) contains installation
instructions and the documentation. Many examples are provided in the
distribution (don't forget to download the extras.zip file). There is
also a public forum where you can ask any questions:
http://groups.google.fr/group/briansupport
Brian is being developed by Romain Brette (romain@briansimulator.org)
and Dan Goodman (dan@briansimulator.org). This version also includes
contributions by Bertrand Fontaine, Cyrille Rossant, Victor Benichoux,
Marcel Stimberg and Jonathan Laudanski.
We take advantage of this announcement to inform Brian users that we are
currently discussing the development of Brian 2.0, a rewriting of Brian,
intended to be simpler, faster, and to be able to run on external
devices (e.g. GPU). We will make an announcement on our mailing list
soon, where we will ask for user opinions:

MLINI-2012: 2nd Workshop on Machine Learning and Inference in Neuroimaging at NIPS-2012

December 7-8, 2012, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, United States
Submission deadline: October 1st, 2012
Workshop Overview:
------------------------
MLINI is a two day workshop on the topic of machine learning approaches in neuroscience and neuroimaging. We believe that both machine learning and neuroimaging can learn from each other as the two communities overlap and enter an intense exchange of ideas and research questions. Methodological developments in machine learning spurn novel paradigms in neuroimaging, while neuroscience motivates methodological advances in computational analysis. In this context many controversies and open questions exist. The goal of the workshop is to pinpoint these issues, sketch future directions, and tackle open questions in the light of novel methodology.
The first workshop of this series at NIPS 2011 built upon earlier events in 2006 and 2008. Last year's workshop included many invited speakers, and was centered around two panel discussions, during which 2 questions were discussed: the interpretability of machine learning findings, and the shift of paradigms in the neuroscience community. The discussion was inspiring, and made clear, that there is a tremendous amount the two communities can learn from each other benefiting from communication across the disciplines. The aim of the 2nd MLINI workshop is to continue exploring important issues on the intersection of ML and neuroimaging and further promote cross-fertilization between these communities. Besides interpretation, and the shift of paradigms, many open questions remain. Among them:
- How suitable are MVPA and inference methods for brain mapping?
- How can we use these approaches for a flexible and useful representation of neuroimaging data?
- What is the role of decoding vs. embedded or separate feature selection?
- How can we assess the specificity and sensitivity?
- What can we accomplish with generative vs. discriminative modelling?
- Can and should the Machine Learning community provide a standard repertoire of methods for the Neuroimaging community to use (e.g. in choosing a classifier)?
Workshop Format:
--------------------------
In this two-day workshop we will explore perspectives and novel methodology at the interface of Machine Learning, Inference, Neuroimaging and Neuroscience. We aim to bring researchers from machine learning and neuroscience community together, in order to discuss open questions, identify the core points for a number of the controversial issues, and eventually propose approaches to solving those issues.
The workshop will be structured around the following main topics:
- - machine learning and pattern analysis methodology in neuroimaging
- causal inference and interpretability in neuroimaging
- evaluation of machine learning methods in light of clinical applications
- linking machine learning methodology with neuroscience or neuroimaging questions
This workshop proposal is part of the PASCAL2 Thematic Programme on Cognitive Inference and Neuroimaging ( http://mlin.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/ ).
Paper Submission:
--------------------------
We seek for submission of original (previously unpublished) research papers. The length of the submitted papers should not exceed 8 pages in Springer format, excluding the references (LaTeX2e style files are available on the workshop page).
Submission of previously published work is possible as well, but the authors are required to mention this explicitly. Previously published work can be presented at the workshop, but will not be included into the workshop proceedings (which are considered peer-reviewed publications of novel contributions). Moreover, the authors are welcome to present their novel work but choose to opt out of the workshop proceedings in case they have alternative publication plans.
Important dates:
--------------------------
- October 1, 2012 - paper submission
- October 15, 2012 - notification of acceptance/rejection
- December 7-8, 2012 - Workshop in Lake Tahoe, Nevada US, following the NIPS conference
