[Neuroinfo] Info theory workshop at CNS*2016 -- program available and call for short talks

[Joseph Lizier]

We are pleased to announce the Workshop on Methods of Information Theory
in Computational Neuroscience, at CNS*2016, Jeju, South Korea.
The workshop will be held over the final two days of the main
conference, July 6 and 7.

Our invited speakers include the following, and our schedule is now
available here: 

      * Demian Battaglia, Institute for Systems Neuroscience, Marseilles
        -- "Dynamic information sharing and transfer by oscillatory
        neural activity" 
      * Braden Brinkman, University of Washington -- "How do efficient
        encoding strategies depend on origins of noise in neural
        circuits?" 
      * Sakyasingha Dasgutpa, RIKEN Brain Science Insititute / IBM
        Research - Tokyo --"How does the source of variability effect
        signal processing in random networks?" 
      * Anna Levina, Institute of Science and Technology Austria --
        "Increase in information processing capacity with approach to
        criticality in developing neural networks" 
      * Joseph T. Lizier, The University of Sydney -- "Estimating
        information transfer between spike trains" 
      * Mark McDonnell, University of South Australia -- "Quantifying
        information transmission in neuroprostheses: mutual information
        or trained neural network classifiers?" 
      * Masafumi Oizumi, RIKEN Brain Science Institute / Monash
        University -- "A unified framework for quantifying information
        integration based on information geometry" 
      * Rama Ratnam, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA),
        and Advanced Digital Sciences Center, Illinois at Singapore
        (Singapore) -- "Optimal energy-efficient coding in sensory
        neurons" 
      * Tatyana Sharpee, Salk Institute for Biological Studies --
        "Sensory coding in the natural environment" 
      * Masanori Shimono, Osaka University -- "Architectures in the
        informatic microconnectome" 
      * Shigeru Shinomoto, Kyoto University -- "Difference in neuronal
        coding schemes in the brain" 
      * Eli Shlizerman, University of Washington -- "Probabilistic
        graphical modeling for neuronal networks" 
      * Michael Wibral, Goethe University, Frankfurt -- "Predictive
        coding without the storytelling - an information theoretic
        approach to test a popular theory" 
      * Si Wu, Beijing Normal University -- "Dynamical information
        encoding in neural adaptation"


Also, we would like to call for contributions of short talks (15 min + 5
min Q&A). If you are interested in contributing such a talk, please send
a title and abstract to Joseph Lizier (joseph.lizier at sydney.edu.au) by
Wednesday June 15, 2016.

Please see our website http://bit.ly/cns2016itw for more details.

We hope you will join us there!
