Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Stochastic dynamics of small networks of neurons ---------------------------------------------------------------- February 20 to February 24, 2012 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center Palo Alto, California http://www.aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/neuronnetwork.html ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the area between carefully crafted stochastic models of single neurons and large networks of simpler ones. The workshop is organized by Victoria Booth, Priscilla Greenwood, and Rachel Kuske. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://www.aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/neuronnetwork.html Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than November 20, 2011. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
