First Computational NeuroScience
and
Parallel Processing Symposium
October 23-24, 1989
Syracuse, NY
Computational NeuroScience, an emergent field, exists at the
juncture of the modeling of neurological systems and high
performance computing, commonly implemented using parallel
processors. Attend the first event to bring together
individuals from industry, government, and universities in an
exploration of opportunities in Computational NeuroScience.
Today, we use high performance computers at the frontiers of
neuroscience to model the neuronal behavior of living
organisms. Tomorrow, parallel processors will deliver these
research results into real-world applications.
We have brought together leaders in the field of
neuroscience, parallel processing, artificial neural
networks, and technology commercialization to report on the
status of current research and the promise of wide-spread
application. Additionally, two panels have been assembled to
focus further discussion on application and implementation
issues. By attending this symposium you'll have the
opportunity to learn:
* How neuroscience can accelerate advances in parallel
computation, and how parallel computation can accelerate
advances in neuroscience.
* The latest methods for implementing neuroscience models
using high-performance computing.
* Prospects for the commercialization of neuroscience results
into practical applications.
The First Computational NeuroScience and Parallel Processing
Symposium has been designed to foster discussion between
speakers and their audience; for this reason, attendance will
be limited.
