The third annual Open Source Brain Workshop takes place May 12-14th
2015, Alghero, Sardinia. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://opensourcebrain.org/docs/Help/Meetings#OSB_2015">http://opensourcebrain.org/docs/Help/Meetings#OSB_2015</a><br>
<br>
The Open Source Brain initiative aims to encourage collaborative,
open source model development in computational neuroscience and is
primarily supported by the Wellcome Trust. As with <a
href="http://www.opensourcebrain.org/docs#Meetings">past OSB
meetings</a> this workshop will bring together experimentalists,
theoreticians and tool developers who are interested in creating
open, community developed models of neuronal systems.<br>
<br>
Researchers interested in building and sharing models of any brain
region and from any species are welcome to attend the meeting. There
will be presentations on the latest developments and functionality
of the OSB resource and associated technologies including NeuroML
and LEMS. There will also be a special focus session on Wed 13th May
on creating and sharing experimentally constrained models of the
hippocampus.<br>
