Workshop on Methods of Information Theory in Computational Neuroscience
Tuesday July 8, 2025 09:00 - Wednesday July 9, 2025 17:30 CEST
Workshop website: https://kgatica.github.io/CNS2025-InfoTeory-W.io/

Methods originally developed in Information Theory have found wide applicability in computational neuroscience. Beyond these original methods there is a need to develop novel tools and approaches that are driven by problems arising in neuroscience. A number of researchers in computational/systems neuroscience and in information/communication theory are investigating problems of information representation and processing. While the goals are often the same, these researchers bring different perspectives and points of view to a common set of neuroscience problems. Often they participate in different fora and their interaction is limited. The goal of the workshop is to bring some of these researchers together to discuss challenges posed by neuroscience and to exchange ideas and present their latest work. The workshop is targeted towards computational and systems neuroscientists with interest in methods of information theory as well as information/communication theorists with interest in neuroscience.

This is the 20th iteration of this workshop at CNS --join us to celebrate!
