About

Neuroinformatics 2010 will be the 3rd INCF Congress and will be held on August 30 to September 1 in Kobe, Japan. As in previous years, it will be a 3-day single track event featuring keynote lectures, workshops with speakers and panel discussions, and poster and demo sessions. The 2010 Congress will also feature a special session on Neuroinformatics in Japan and Asia. This session will constitute the last half day of the Congress and will be organized by the INCF Japan-Node.

The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) is an international organization devoted to advancing the field of neuroinformatics. The annual INCF Neuroinformatics Congress provides a meeting place for researchers in all fields related to neuroinformatics, including data- and knowledge-bases of the nervous system from molecular to behavioral levels; tools for the acquisition, analysis, and visualization of nervous system data; and theoretical, computational, and simulation environments for modeling the brain. VanEssen+Usui

This year's program committee is headed by Professor David Van Essen, who was himself a keynote speaker in Stockholm in 2008. The Director of the Neuroinformatics Japan Center and delegate of the Japanese INCF Node, Professor Shiro Usui, is Congress Secretary General.

Participants' presentations are vital components of the Neuroinformatics Congresses. Traditional poster sessions included as well as live computer demonstrations and selected oral “spotlight” presentations. Due to popular demand, these sessions will be given additional program space at Neuroinformatics 2010 in Kobe.

The first Neuroinformatics Congress was held in 2008 in Stockholm, Sweden, and drew 260 attendees.

The 2009 Neuroinformatics Congress took place in Pilsen, Czech Republic, and attracted 213 participants. For more details, please visit: www.neuroinformatics2009.org.
