2ND HBP Student Conference - Transdisciplinary Research Linking Neuroscience, Brain Medicine, and Computer Science

We are pleased to present the proceedings of the 2nd Human Brain Project Student Conference - Transdisciplinary Research Linking Neuroscience, Brain Medicine and Computer Science - held in Ljubljana, Slovenia from 14 to 16 February 2018. The conference provided an open forum for exchange of new ideas among young researchers working on various aspects of neuroscience, brain medicine and computer science relevant to the Human Brain Project (HBP). Contributions emphasising theoretical and empirical foundations as well as novel approaches to specific problems of the HBP were welcome. We particularly encouraged submissions with a potential to inspire the research community by introducing new and relevant problems, concepts and ideas. The contributions to this conference covered a wide variety of topics, including Mouse Brain Organisation, Human Brain Organisation, Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience, Theoretical Neuroscience, Neuroinformatics, Brain Simulation, High-Performance Analytics and Computing, Medical Informatics, Neuromorphic Computing, Neurorobotics, and Ethics and Society. We would like to thank all authors for submitting their work to the 2nd HBP Student Conference. We hope that the readers will enjoy the selected set of abstracts and that these contributions will inspire and encourage new interactions, discussions, and opportunities beneficial to the authors, the Human Brain Project, and the whole scientific community.
