"Dynamics of Neuronal Systems" is a research focus at the Bernstein Center Freiburg, and a key topic of Computational Neuroscience in general. It is also the title of an upcoming international conference organized and hosted by the BCF. For three days (March 18-20, 2013), a selection of renowned scientists from both experimental and theoretical disciplines of neuroscience will present and discuss their latest results, side by side with young researchers who previously were, or currently are affiliated with the BCF.
This conference is funded by BMBF and DAAD.
