The INCF Training and Education Committee will award funding to facilitate the development of training materials that align with INCF’s mission and strategic objectives. Funding will drive forward the development of training materials, such as tutorials, demos, use of open data, and video recording of courses, and support the inclusion of neuroinformatics-related instruction in existing courses.
Submission deadline: April 30th, 2017
Review period: May 2017
Funding awarded: June 2017
On December 1-2, the 10th BrainModes conference took place in Brussels, in the beautiful and prestigious site of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The BrainModes meetings explore innovative means of understanding complex brain activity and multimodal neuroscience data sets, with the objective to foster informal discussion of brain modeling and multivariate data analysis (EEG, MEG, fMRI, etc). The central motif is that of “modes” – that is, understanding how complex brain activity is organized around low dimensional manifolds.
The main conference was preceded by a workshop in Ghent, in which methodological aspects were discussed, and some tools were presented, such as Neuropower, meant to calculate the optimal sample size in experiments, PRoNTo, for pattern recognition in fMRI and The Virtual Brain, a neuroinformatics platform for large-scale personalized brain modelling. The event was co-funded by INCF.
The images from the meeting can be found here.
