About Cosyne
The annual Cosyne meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange of experimental and theoretical/computational approaches to problems in systems neuroscience.
The first Cosyne meeting, held in 2004 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, drew over 350 participants. Since 2005, the meeting has been held in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has attracted a growing number of participants, from nearly 400 in 2005 to over 500 in 2009.
To encourage interdisciplinary interactions, the main meeting is arranged in a single track. A set of invited talks are selected by the Executive Committee, and additional talks and posters are selected by the Program Committee, based on submitted abstracts.
Cosyne topics include but are not limited to: neural coding, natural scene statistics, dendritic computation, neural basis of persistent activity, nonlinear receptive field mapping, representations of time and sequence, reward systems, decision-making, synaptic plasticity, map formation and plasticity, population coding, attention, computation with spiking networks.
Partners
The abstracts of the 2010 meeting will again be published by Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. Similar to the abstracts of the Society for Neuroscience meeting, these abstracts are citeable, but they are not full-length proceedings and therefore do not preclude further publication.
Thanks to the generosity of The Gatsby Charitable Foundation, of Qualcomm Incorporated and of Brain Corporation, up to 40 travel grants will be available to support student and postdoc participation in the main Cosyne meeting.
