The Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience started out as the annual meeting of the Bernstein Network (www.nncn.de) and has become the largest European Conference in Computational Neuroscience in recent years. This year, the Conference is organized by the Bernstein Center Tuebingen and will take place September 25-27, 2013. The Bernstein Conference is a single-track conference, covering all aspects of Computational Neuroscience and Neurotechnology. Sessions for poster presentations are an integral part of the conference. Call for abstract submission for posters will follow soon.

This year the Bernstein conference will feature, for the first time, a series of pre-conference workshops on September 24-25, 2013. The goal is to provide an informal forum for the discussion of timely research questions and challenges. Controversial issues, open problems, and comparisons of competing approaches are encouraged.
