[Comp-neuro] Final call GENESIS -3.0 (G-3) workshop in Germany

Final Call for Registration

Multi-scale Modeling in Computational Neuroscience

September 3 - 8, 2012, University of Lübeck, Lübeck Germany

Final application deadline is Aug. 15.

This is the final call for registration for a weeklong workshop in Luebeck Germany focused on the development and use of multi-scale realistic models in computational neuroscience.

The workshop will be a hands-on exploration of neuronal models at multiple levels of scale. The workshop is particularly appropriate for anyone already working with a model who would like to connect that model to representations at other levels of scale. The workshop is also relevant to software developers interested in integrating new model analysis and visualization tools into neuronal simulators. While participants can use the simulator of their choosing, the workshop will introduce GENESIS 3 (G-3), a modular reimplementation of the GENESIS neural simulator that has capabilities uniquely suited for multi-scale modeling.

The international faculty includes:

Dr. James M. Bower (University of Texas System) who has been involved in the development of software tools for multi-scale modeling for 30 years.

Dr. David Beeman (University of Colorado) who has supported multi-scale modeling both as an instructor in numerous international courses in computational biology as well as in his role as director of the GENESIS users group.

Dr. Avrama Blackwell (George Mason University) whose modeling and experimental expertise involves the investigation of molecular synaptic mechanisms.

Dr. Hugo Cornelis (Lead GENESIS developer) with expertise both in the design and construction of multi-scale simulation systems as well as modeling at single cell and network levels.
