Medicine, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Psychology, Philosophy and others are welcomed. Issues related to the support of Communication and Information Technology and High-Performance Computing in Neuroscience will receive particular attention. UFRGS is happy to welcome LATIN AMERICAN WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE (LAWCN) in Porto Alegre, Brazil.GENERAL INFORMATIONIMPORTANT DATES * June 30, 2017: Submission deadline for papers* August 20, 2017: Notification of acceptance* September 10, 2017: Camera-ready papers and copyrights signatures* November 13, 2017: Digital Posters due, which will be digitally presented* November 22-24, 2017: Workshop, UFRGS - Porto Alegre, Brazil. SCOPELAWCN 2017 covers all aspects of Computational Neuroscience. Although the interdisciplinary nature of the Conference and the stimulus to work at intersections and the frontiers of different disciplines, for the sake of clarifying the scope of the Workshop, topics will be presented on the three main axes. The interest topics include (but are not limited to):a) Neuroscience:* Sensory processing* Network dynamics* Reinforcement learning* Motivation and decision making* Statistical approaches in neuroscience* Systems Neuroscience* Learning and memory Attention* Arousal of Sensory-Motor Integration Learning in networks* Ethical and philosophical issues related to Neuroscience* Educational issues b) Neuroengineering:* Large-scale recordings* Neural signal processing* Neuromodulation* Neuroprosthetics* Robotics* Biomedical devices development* Humanoid robots* Robots for Elderly People* Sensing in Robotics* Fusion of Sensors* Hardware implementations in Neuroscience* Software implementations in Neuroscience* Brain-Computer Interfaces: design and applications* Ethical and philosophical issues related to Neuro-engineering* Educational issuesc) Artificial Intelligence and related techniques:* Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Neuroscience* Bioinformatics* Clustering and Applications* Computer Vision, Cognitive and Humanoid Vision* Databases, Data Mining, Intelligent Data Analysis, Knowledge-based Systems and Linguistic Tools* Data Visualization and Applications* Deep Learning* Statistical Pattern Recognition/Document Processing and Recognition* Fuzzy and Hybrid Techniques* Geometric Algebra Application in Perception-Action* High-Performance Computing for Pattern Recognition* Image Coding, Processing, and Analysis* Kernel Machines* Mathematical Theory of Computational Neuroscience* Neural Networks* Parallel and Distributed Applications for Computational Neuroscience* Robotics and Humanoids* Shape and Texture Analysis* Signal Processing and Analysis* Spatio-temporal Analysis* Ethical and philosophical issues related to Artificial Intelligence* Educational issuesKEYNOTE SPEAKERSLAWCN Organizing Committee is proud to announce the confirmation of the following invited talks:Dr. Francisco Sotres Bayon, Professor of Neurosciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico(UNAM ), MexicoTitle of the talk : Understanding the Brain mechanisms of learned and innate motivational conflictsDr. Laurence Devillers,Professor of Computer Science at Paris-Sorbonne University,Paris,FranceTitle of the talk : Affective and Social Robotics : engagement,evaluation and ethicsDr. Sen Cheng, Professor of Computational Neuroscience at the Ruhr University Bochum(RUB),Bochum, GermanyTitle of the talk : Intrinsic Sequences in the hippocampus for spatial navigation and memory storageDr. Vinicius Rosa Cota, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Federal University of Sao Joao del-Rei (UFSJ), Sao Joao del-Rei, BrazilTitle of the talk : Toward a neural prosthesis to the epileptic brain by tackling neural hyper synchronismThe confirmation of other invited speakers will be done soon.REGISTRATION FEESUntil 30/06/2017Undergraduate Student: R$ 100,00Graduate Student: R$ 150,00Professionals: R$ 200,00Until 13/10/2017Undergraduate Student: R$ 125,00Graduate Student: R$ 175,00Professionals: R$ 225,00After 14/10/2017Undergraduate Student:R$ 150,00Graduate Student:R$ 200,00Professionals:R$ 250,00Registrations can be done at: http://www2.fundacaomedica.hcpa.ufrgs.br/siafnet/hinscricoesemcursosv3.aspx?1598,I+LAWCN+-+LATIN+AMERICAN+WORKSHOP+ON+COMPAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATIONS Papers should be submitted exclusively through EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lawcn2017Papers will be evaluated
