Computational and Systems Neuroscience

{{notability|date=July 2011}}

Computational and Systems Neuroscience (COSYNE or CoSyNe) is an annual scientific conference for the exchange of experimental and theoretical/computational approaches to problems in systems neuroscience. It is an important meeting for computational neuroscientists where many levels of approaches are discussed.{{cite book|last1=Marr|first1=David|title=Vision|date=2010|publisher=MIT press|isbn=9780262290371|page=365|doi=10.7551/mitpress/9780262514620.001.0001}} It is a single track-meeting with oral and poster sessions and attracts about 800-900 participants from a variety of disciplines, including neuroscience, computer science and machine learning. Until 2018, the 3-day long main meeting was held in Salt Lake City, followed by two days of workshops at Snowbird, Utah. In 2018, COSYNE moved to Denver (3 days) and Breckenridge (2 days).

History

COSYNE grew out of the Neural Information and Coding (NIC) meetings founded by Anthony Zador in 1996.{{cite web|last1=Zador|first1=Tony|title=Neural Information and Coding workshops|url=http://zadorlab.cshl.edu/NIC.html|accessdate=26 December 2016}}{{cite web|last1=Park|first1=Il Memming|title=Alex Pouget (#theoryMatters interview #04)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZphn2IocwU&t=5m2s |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/wZphn2IocwU |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live|accessdate=26 December 2016|website=youtube.com}}{{cbignore}} The first COSYNE was organized in 2004 by Michael Shadlen, Alexandre Pouget, Carlos Brody and Anthony Zador.{{cite web|url=http://cosyne.org/|title=Computational and Systems Neuroscience|website=COSYNE.ORG|accessdate=26 December 2016}} The current Executive Committee consists of Alexandre Pouget, Zachary Mainen, Stephanie Palmer and Anthony Zador.
