Workshop “Imaging neural activity in sensory systems: experimental and
modeling approach”
2011-09-22
The workshop provided an overview of different
approaches used for visualization of neuronal activity
from cellular to systems level, including functional
brain mapping, electrophysiological techniques and
cutting-edge optical imaging methods. The review of
experimental techniques was completed by
presentations of modeling methods and tools to
quantify neuronal dynamics. The aim of the workshop
was to show advantages and limitations of different
approaches. The course consisted of a series of
lectures and practicals by local and external experts
followed by discussions. Lectures were given by
distinguished Polish and foreign speakers: Amos
Arieli (Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot,
Israel), Rembrandt Bakker and Dirk Schubert
(Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour,
Nijmegen, Netherlands), Gaute Einevoll (Norwegian
University of Life Sciences, Ås, Norway), Petra
Henrich-Noack (Institute of Medical Psychology, Ottovon-Guericke University, Magdeburg, Germany ), Paweł Hottowy (AGH University of Science
and Technology, Krakow, Poland), Zoltán Kisvárday (University of Debrecen, Hungary),
David Lyon (University of California, Irvine, USA), Artur Łuczak (University of Lethbridge,
Canada) and Klaus Obermayer (Technische Universität Berlin, Germany). The Nencki
Institute was represented by Ewa Kublik, Gabriela Mochol, Szymon Łęski and Artur
Marchewka. Sessions were chaired by Małgorzata Kossut and Andrzej Wróbel.
The event was organized by Wioletta Waleszczyk from the Nencki Institute under an FP7 EU
(Capacities) project – BIO-IMAGing in research INovation and Education (BIO-IMAGINE).
