<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,<br><br>(with apologies for cross-posting)<br><br>this year as usual, INCF will exhibit at SfN Neuroscience 2013 in San Diego. You can find us in booth #4128, near many other neuroinformatics exhibitors, where we will be available for questions on neuroscience data, data sharing, standards, infrastructure and other neuroinformatics key areas. We also host three days of demos of interesting tools and projects (see full program below). <div>
<br></div><div>You are all invited to come by our booth to get updated on this year's activities, to view a demo or two or to simply sit down in our (very comfy) sofa for some combined networking and relaxation. Together with the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) we also have a neuroinformatics social on Sunday November 10 6:30-9:30 pm, at the Cat Eye Club near the convention center. Light refreshments served, please remember to bring your SfN badge! <div>

INCF establishes and operates scientific programs to develop standards for neuroscience data sharing, analysis, modeling and simulation while coordinating an informatics infrastructure designed to enable the integration of neuroscience data and knowledge worldwide and catalyze insights into brain function in health and disease.<br>
