  <title>NITRC News Group Forum: 5th-incf-national-node-of-finland-workshop-on-neuroinformatics-</title>
  <link>http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3644</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose of the workshop:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Neuroinformatics integrates information across all scales of neuroscience -&lt;br /&gt; from genes to behavior - to help understand the brain and treat disease. The&lt;br /&gt; International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF) is an&lt;br /&gt; organization established to develop and maintain database and computational&lt;br /&gt; infrastructure for neuroscientists. Recent initiatives within the INCF&lt;br /&gt; member countries include informatics tool development for better&lt;br /&gt; understanding and treatment of brain-related diseases, among them dementia&lt;br /&gt; and mental disorders. Infrastructure and informatics tools are required to&lt;br /&gt; integrate data from different scales and link symptoms to the underlying&lt;br /&gt; disease causes. The aim of the 5th National Neuroinformatics Workshop in&lt;br /&gt; Finland is to deliver state-of-the-art developments in this challenging&lt;br /&gt; field.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Program:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Invited 30-45 min lectures, poster session, and discussions on&lt;br /&gt; neuroinformatics research. There will be a prize for the best poster.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Keynote lecturers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - Dr. Kaisa Hartikainen (Behavioral Neurology Research Unit, Tampere&lt;br /&gt;   University Hospital)&lt;br /&gt; - Dr. Liam McDaid (University of Ulster, Northern Ireland)&lt;br /&gt; - There will also be a demonstration on INCF Dataspace for collaborative&lt;br /&gt;   neuroscience research and data sharing by Dr. Raphael Ritz (INCF&lt;br /&gt;   Secretariat, Stockholm, Sweden).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Registration:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Attendance is free, but prior registration is appreciated before November&lt;br /&gt; 23rd. We have limited seating available so please register well in advance&lt;br /&gt; and inform us in case you are not able to attend.
