About Cosyne

The annual Cosyne meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange of experimental and theoretical/computational approaches to problems in systems neuroscience. It evolved from a series of invitation-only workshops on Neural Information and Coding that have been held since 1996. The first Cosyne meeting, held in 2004 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, drew over 350 participants. The 2005 and 2006 meetings, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, drew nearly 400 participants, and the 2007 meeting drew 440.


The main meeting is arranged in a single track, so as to encourage interdisciplinary interactions. A set of invited talks are selected by the Executive Committee, and additional talks and posters are selected by the Program Committee, based on submitted abstracts. Cosyne topics include but are not limited to: neural coding, natural scene statistics, dendritic computation, neural basis of persistent activity, nonlinear receptive field mapping, representations of time and sequence, reward systems, decision-making, synaptic plasticity, map formation and plasticity, population coding, attention, computation with spiking networks.
