Neuroscience.</b><br>
<br>
The award is biannually presented by the Bernstein Association to a
scientist in recognition of outstanding research that contributes to
our understanding of the functioning of the brain. The major
criterion for the award is the impact or potential impact of the
recipient's research on the field of brain science. In the spirit of
Valentino Braitenberg's research, special emphasis is given to
theoretical studies elucidating the functional implications of brain
structures and their neuronal network dynamics.<br>
<br>
The awardee receives a ¤5.000 prize donated by the Autonome Provinz
Bozen Südtirol as well as complimentary participation (registration,
travel, and hotel accomodation) in the Bernstein Conference 2014.
Here, the prize is awarded together with a Golden Neuron pin badge
in a special ceremony that includes the Valentino Braitenberg
lecture given by the awardee.<br>
<br>
Nominations may be submitted by scientists working in the field of
Computational Neuroscience and should include toe following
documents:<br>
- One-page laudation, in which the scientific work of the candidate
is honored with regard to the award's criteria<br>
- CV and list of publications <br>
