*** NO MEETING JAN 23 DUE TO ILLNESS ***

This will be an informal weekly discussion group for IAP featuring presentations by myself (Dan Gibson), book and article recommendations relevant to brain theory, and discussions of the topics raised.  I distinguish "brain theory" from "theoretical neuroscience" on the basis that the former is about the mechanisms that enable the integrated functioning of the brain as an organ, whereas the latter tends to be mathematical and technical in nature (e.g. point process statistics, neural response decoding, clustering methods, etc.).  A basic general knowledge of neuroscience will be assumed.  I have reserved the 6th Floor MIBR Seminar Room, 46-6199, which can accommodate 20 people.  Please email me if you are interested, to help me estimate the group size.  So far (as of Jan. 3) we have about 10 people, so there should be room for a few last minute drop-ins.
