Purpose of the workshop:
Neuroinformatics integrates information across all scales of neuroscience -
from genes to behavior - to help understand the brain and treat disease. The
International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF) is an
organization established to develop and maintain database and computational
infrastructure for neuroscientists. Recent initiatives within the INCF
member countries include informatics tool development for better
understanding and treatment of brain-related diseases, among them dementia
and mental disorders. Infrastructure and informatics tools are required to
integrate data from different scales and link symptoms to the underlying
disease causes. The aim of the 5th National Neuroinformatics Workshop in
Finland is to deliver state-of-the-art developments in this challenging
field.

Program:
Invited 30-45 min lectures, poster session, and discussions on
neuroinformatics research. There will be a prize for the best poster.

Keynote lecturers:
- Dr. Kaisa Hartikainen (Behavioral Neurology Research Unit, Tampere
  University Hospital)
- Dr. Liam McDaid (University of Ulster, Northern Ireland)
- There will also be a demonstration on INCF Dataspace for collaborative
  neuroscience research and data sharing by Dr. Raphael Ritz (INCF
  Secretariat, Stockholm, Sweden).
