The Systems and Computational Neuroscience Speakers Series host internationally established and young, rising scientists to convey their lines of research on core questions about the neuronal mechanisms of attention, learning and decision making.

The SYSCOMP Neuroscience Speaker Series provides one critical platform to acknowledge the enormous advances that are currently made in understanding the brain mechanisms that underlie these higher cognitive functions. Research at York contributes to these advances at multiple levels and at the highest scientific standards [see SYSCOMP@York link].

Background

The SYSCOMP Neuroscience Speaker Series is made possible by a joint funding effort of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, the Faculty of Health, and the Vice President’s Research Offices at York University. This joint effort follows the acknowledgement of the strategic core value of Systems and Computational Neuroscience research in the overall advance to understand the brain’s of the healthy human and in psychiatric and neurological disorders.

The SYSCOMP Neuroscience Speakers Series is organized by Prof. Kari Hoffman, Prof. John Tsotsos, and Prof. Thilo Womelsdorf
