Dear all

The 6th Annual INCF Congress of Neuroinformatics will convene August 27-29 at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. (see flyer attached).

The emerging field of neuroinformatics combines neuroscience and informatics research to develop tools and approaches to understand the structure and function of the brain. These tools can also be applied to the study of brain disorders and diseases.

The INCF Neuroinformatics Congress welcomes more than 200 researchers in all fields related to neuroinformatics, including data- and knowledge-bases of the nervous system from molecular to behavioral levels; tools for the acquisition, analysis, and visualization of nervous system data; and theoretical, computational, and simulation environments for modeling the brain. The meeting will include a series of keynote speakers, workshops, poster sessions and live demonstrations of neuroinformatics tools.
