NycA-Osc - Neuronal Oscillations Collective

The meetings aim to bring scientists interested in neuronal oscillation together to discuss current work and relevant papers focused on a number of topics preceded by a motivating talk. The goal is to have active discussions (not passive talks) among modelers, data analysts and experimentalists with a quantitative approach. Topics would include the mechanisms by which oscillations emerge, their possible functionality for the healthy and diseased brain, and what these oscillations tell us about the brain circuits and their dynamics.

On a more general and long-term level, the goal is to create a local community/working group (NYC/NJ area) of researchers, including faculty, students and postdocs, that could lead to stimulating exchanges of ideas and possible collaborations. We plan is to organize a one-day workshop at the end of the year inviting high-profile speakers working on the various related areas (including experimentalists). We are working on the logistics, which include funding and space.
