Co-hosted by Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics, Allen Institute MIndScope Program, and University of Washington. In this workshop, participants will gain in-depth exposure to the tools and techniques used by the Allen Institute to collect in vivo physiology data at scale. The Allen Institute was a key contributor to the development of Neuropixels probes (along with researchers and engineers at HHMI Janelia Research Campus, University College London, and Imec), which are quickly becoming the standard for extracellular electrophysiology recordings. The Institute has also pioneered rigs and protocols needed for high-throughput recordings from the mouse visual system, which are now accessible to the community via the BRAIN Initiative–funded OpenScope program. In this workshop, participants from around the world will have the opportunity to tour our in vivo electrophysiology and imaging facilities and learn the details of these methods from Allen Institute and UW scientists and staff. Lectures and demonstrations will cover all aspects of generating high-quality physiology datasets, from surgery to behavior training to neural recordings. Participants will also learn how to access data from the Allen Brain Observatory and about the OpenScope program. The workshop is geared towards graduate students, postdocs, staff scientists, and PIs with some experience with in vivo recordings. Applications are due June 1, 2022.

The goal of NeuroDataReHack is to train participants to generate new insights from existing neurophysiology data through secondary analysis. The DANDI Archive now has 89+ publicly available neurophysiology datasets, standardized using NWB, including cutting edge data produced by the OpenScope program which has been designed and packaged to enable secondary analysis. In this hackathon, participants will concentrate on reanalyzing existing open datasets to generate new insights. In addition, DANDI compute resources can be used to employ a growing ecosystem of analysis and visualization tools that work natively with NWB. Instructional activities during the hackathon will teach attendees about the open neurophysiology datasets available on the DANDI Archive, how to access and analyze data in the archive, and how to use the NWB standard to incorporate existing data into their scientific workflows.

The 2022 INS Annual Meeting will be a hybrid event including opportunities to participate online as well as in-person at the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM) in Montreal, Canada. The theme is: Bringing Neuroethics to Life Throughout Patient Care, Research, and Policy. A number of program sessions will be organized on this topic to tackle topics related to: prevention; diagnosis; emerging therapies, technologies, and research; and neurorecovery and end of life.

Are you a student or postdoc interested in interdisciplinary training? Come learn about the Dana Foundation’s new focus on Neuroscience & Society, which includes neuroscience interfacing with fields beyond biomedicine, such as ethics, law, humanities, arts, and public engagement. We are interested in your experiences and ideas. Have you explored interdisciplinary training? If not, what would be on your wish list? Dana staff will be on hand to share the Foundation’s vision and meet you!

Recent advances in deep neural networks (DNNs), combined with open, easily-accessible implementations, have made DNNs a powerful, versatile method used widely in both machine learning and neuroscience. These advances in practical results, however, have far outpaced a formal understanding of these networks and their training. The dearth of rigorous analysis for these techniques limits their usefulness in addressing scientific questions and, more broadly, hinders systematic design of the next generation of networks. Recently, long-past-due theoretical results have begun to emerge from researchers in a number of fields. The purpose of this conference is to give visibility to these results, and those that will follow in their wake, to shed light on the properties of large, adaptive, distributed learning architectures, and to revolutionize our understanding of these systems.
