Brief description:
The purpose of this three and a half day workshop is to bring machine learning researchers and neuroscientists together to learn from each other and explore potential avenues of new research. The first two days will provide introductory sessions to familiarise neuroscientists with basic machine learning concepts, and likewise, to familiarise machine learning researchers with the basics of neuroscience. The workshop will then split into a practical workshop on data analysis and a theoretical workshop on understanding computation in the brain.
Program:
May 28: An introduction to machine learning for neuroscientists
May 29: An introduction to neuroscience for machine learning
May 30: Split into two separate tracks – 1) Data analysis in neuroscience, 2) Theoretical models of neural computation
May 31: Wrap-up, discussions of possible project/collaborations
