Episode 194 -- Future Frameworks in Theoretical Neuroscience Workshop, Part I

Monday, February 4, 2019 This episode is a panel discussion recorded as Part I of a two part series on the recent Present & Future Frameworks in Theoretical Neuroscience, an international workshop hosted by Horacio Rotstein (NJIT) & Fidel Santamaria (UTSA) with support from the NSF’s Brain Initiative.  Part I is a preamble recorded on day one of the meeting, in which some friends of the podcast (see below) define the need for the workshop and identify their objectives as they undertake their workgroups.  Hosted by Salma Quraishi. Stay tuned for Part II, which was recorded at the close of the workshop.  Part II will be posted separately as a follow up to summarize some of the critical discussions that transpired in the workgroups.
