The registration form is here: Registration Form

Registration is now open, and will close when the venue is full. Abstract submission and request for consideration for travel awards is done through the registration form. Please register by mid July to be considered for travel awards.
Abstract Submission The option to submit your abstract for a poster presentation is available to you on the registration form. Additionally, if you would like to be considered to deliver a 2-3 minutes lightning talk, you can select that option on the registration form. Students, trainees, fellows and junior investigators are strongly encouraged to apply for a lightning talk. To be considered for a travel award, abstracts must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CDT on Friday August 18, 2023; abstracts will be accepted until September 1. Abstracts should be no more than 300 words, and saved as a pdf named LastName-FirstInitialACNN2023.pdf prior to upload.
All poster presentations and lightning talks will be in-person. Should you be selected to present in-person but not be able to do so, due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact our coordinator Joshua Cermak at joshua.cermak@osumc.edu
Travel Scholarships We will support a number of partial travel awards for students, post-doctoral scholars, and young investigators that can include travel and lodging. Applying for the travel scholarship is an option on the registration form. Please include a brief paragraph (150 words) indicating your situation and request for consideration (e.g., coming from out of town, your supervisor doesn't have travel funds, etc.)

About

Objectives: The overall theme for the workshop is deep phenotyping challenges and solutions: data analysis, standards, representation, and sharing in personalized, precision medicine. We are inviting a wide panel of experts in neuroimaging, neuroscience, biomedical research, and data science to share in transdisciplinary conversations about the vision and promise of highly dense behavioral and physiological data integration. The workshop panels will address challenges in the integration of multimodal, multidimensional, multiscale data, in terms of data standards, representation, and sharing. The workshop will bring together members of the Midwest, national, and the global neuroscience research community to promote data reuse, aggregation, result validation and new discoveries in neuroscience.

Call for Abstracts

Brief abstracts describing the background or context, methods and results of a research problem, or a discussion of the challenges of spatially or temporally dense measures in human neuroscience will be considered. Select posters will be chosen for oral presentation during the Data Blitz session.

Program
