NEUROINFORMATICS SUMMER SCHOOL 1999 (NISS*99)
Information Coding in the Cerebral Cortex:
The Origin and the Role of Distributed/Stochastic/Synchronous Patterns
August 22nd - 27th, 1999
This six-day course, sponsored by the Japanese Neural Network Society, aims to bring
together graduate students and leading researchers who are interested in the study
of neural coding in the brain. It provides opportunities for theoreticians to
learn recent experimental findings and to work on real data, and for experimentalists
to be acquainted with theoretical frameworks and to have hand-on experience with
latest computational techniques. (note: most lectures are given in Japanese.)
