The IBRO-Simons Computational Neuroscience Imbizo, or isiCNI is an opportunity for African and international students to learn about cutting edge research techniques in computational neuroscience. The format of the school will be a combination of intensive lectures on advanced topics in computational and theoretical neuroscience as well as practical exercises in simulation and data analysis. In addition, students will perform a mini-research project under the supervision of one of the school tutors, to be presented at the end of the school. Application deadline: Thursday 20 Oct 2022

Representational drift poses the question of how sensory perception, memory, motor behavior, and task performance are maintained over time, and provides a window into the adaptive properties of neural circuits on long timescales. Elucidating the underlying causes and implications of this phenomenon may be crucial to our understanding of how neuronal function underlies basic sensory, motor, and cognitive processes. Proper characterization of drift across the nervous system, both in terms of its function and underlying mechanism, will require concerted effort and cooperation on both experimental and theoretical fronts. This conference will spur these efforts across species, brain regions, cell types and behaviors, and provide a forum for experimentalists and theorists to debate the causes and implications of drift as well as formulate promising directions to gain traction on this question. Application deadline: January 10, 2023

Olfactory navigation is required for the survival of virtually all living creatures from unicellular organisms to mammals. This conference will focus on olfaction and spatial orientation as a unifying theme across organisms with different viewpoints: mechanistic, computational and evolutionary. We will examine how model organisms, with distinct sensory capabilities and constraints have evolved to solve this problem. Application deadline: Jan 10, 2023 (11:59 p.m. ET)

The annual Cosyne meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange of empirical and theoretical approaches to problems in systems neuroscience, in order to understand how neural systems function. The Main Meeting is single-track. A set of invited talks is selected by the Executive Committee, and additional talks and posters are selected by the Program Committee, based on submitted abstracts. The Workshops feature in-depth discussion of current topics of interest, in a small group setting.

CaImAn is an open-source software platform that provides optimized and scalable routines to process imaging data with the goal of extracting the activity of each neuron. CaImAn handles multiple imaging modalities (voltage, calcium, endoscopic, multiphoton, volumetric) and analysis settings (batch/offline vs online/real-time). Mesmerize is a new organizational and visualization framework that allows for efficient and streamlined analysis using CaImAn algorithms, and enables users with minimal programming experience to use CaImAn effectively. CaImAn is very popular among neuroscientists world-wide, but its widespread dissemination, the efficient use of its routines, and the opportunities provided by Mesmerize, require access to training opportunities. We will address this challenge by establishing a workshop at the Flatiron Institute, Simons Foundation. Application deadline: November 6, 2022.
