Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Brains, Minds and Machines to be held on 8/13/17 - 9/3/17
The goal of this course is to help produce a community of leaders that is equally knowledgeable in neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science and will lead the development of true biologically inspired AI.
The class discussions will cover a range of topics, including:
- Neuroscience: neurons and models
- Computational vision
- Biological vision
- Machine learning
- Bayesian inference
- Planning and motor control
- Memory
- Social cognition
- Inverse problems & well-posedness
- Audition and speech processing
- Natural language processing
These discussions will be complemented in the first week by MathCamps and NeuroCamps, to refresh the necessary background. Throughout the course, students will participate in workshops and tutorials to gain hands-on experience with these topics.
Core presentations will be given jointly by neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and computer scientists. Lectures will be followed by afternoons of computational labs, with additional evening research seminars. To reinforce the theme of collaboration between (computer science + math) and (neuroscience + cognitive science), exercises and projects often will be performed in teams that combine students with both backgrounds.
The course will culminate with student presentations of their projects. These projects provide the opportunity for students to work closely with the resident faculty, to develop ideas that grow out of the lectures and seminars, and to connect these ideas with problems from the students’ own research at their home institutions.
This course aims to cross-educate computer engineers and neuroscientists; it is appropriate for graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in computer science or neuroscience. Students are expected to have a strong background in one discipline (such as neurobiology, physics, engineering, and mathematics). Our goal is to develop the science and the technology of intelligence and to help train a new generation of scientists that will leverage the progress in neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science. The course is limited to 30 students.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Biology of the Inner Ear: Experimental and Analytical Approaches to be held on 8/9/17 - 8/31/17
The Biology of the Inner Ear Course (BIE) course is designed to address the particular challenges of studying the scarce, difficult-to-reach components of the inner ear, to provide the analytical framework to understand inner ear function, and to explore that function at the systems level. This three-week multi-disciplinary course provides instruction and hands-on laboratory training in cutting-edge techniques and specialized methods to meet the special challenges of inner ear biology. Students are introduced to the fundamentals of inner ear research through lectures, research seminars, roundtable discussions, and side-by-side interactions with faculty in the laboratory. The course fosters future inner ear investigation, emphasizing not just what is known, but also the opportunities for discovery, innovation, and translation into better understanding of the inner ear. The course is designed to accommodate a relatively small number of students and is suitable for individuals with backgrounds in the biological, chemical, physical/computational sciences, and medicine.
The laboratory takes a comparative approach to illustrate the commonalities and specific lessons available from fish to mammals. Techniques taught range from the methods of molecular, cell and developmental biology, to single unit and field potential recording in the auditory nerve and brainstem. There is an emphasis on high resolution fluorescence microscopy of inner ear tissues.
Over 30 leading inner-ear scientists participate in teaching the BIE course. This offers students the unique opportunity to interact with, learn from, and form connections with some of the most highly regarded scientists in the field.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Disclosure and Transparency for Clinical Data Summit to be held on 8/7/17 - 8/8/17
The Disclosure and Transparency for Clinical Data Summit convenes industry professionals to examine the global and national legislative landscape of data disclosure and transparency. The expert speaking faculty will determine the required internal infrastructure, resources and best practices to disclose transparent data that balances commercial and ethical responsibilities. Case studies will outline how to harmonize and standardize the execution of clinical trial data disclosure that meets federal and global criteria. This summit will provide attendees with the tools to be proactive in the changing regulatory environment to ultimately disclose transparent data that promotes brand integrity and ensures public understanding of the trial processes and results.
