The workshop Statistical Analysis of Neural Data (SAND7) will take place May 27-29, 2015, at the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, run jointly by the Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, in Pittsburgh PA. Major advances in neural recording and imaging technologies have put into the hands of investigators wonderful tools for conducting previously unimagined experiments, yielding rich data sources that can shed new light on basic neuroscience and its clinical implications. The data sets are, however, often large and complex, so that novel methods of analysis are needed if the wealth of new information is to be turned into useful knowledge. (SAND7) will bring together euro-physiologists, statisticians, physicists, and computer scientists who are interested in quantitative analysis of neuronal data. The scientific lectures will be given by 6 keynote speakers, and 12 junior investigators. Each keynote lecture will be followed by an invited discussion of the topic. There will also be a poster session. Authors will be encouraged to submit papers to the Journal of Computational Neuroscience. SAND7 is the seventh workshop in a series that began in 2002. The objectives of the workshop are to define important problems in neuronal data analysis and useful strategies for attacking them; foster communication between experimental neuroscientists and those trained in statistical and computational methods; and provide further dissemination of the findings presented at the workshop via a set of peer-reviewed articles. Other objectives are to encourage young researchers, including graduate students, to present their work; expose young researchers to important challenges and opportunities in this interdisciplinary domain, while providing a small meeting atmosphere to facilitate the interaction of young researchers with senior colleagues; and include as participants women, under-represented minorities and persons with disabilities who might benefit from the small workshop environment.

神经数据的研讨会统计分析（SAND7）将于2015年5月27日至29日在认知神经基础中心，由卡内基·梅隆大学和匹兹堡宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡大学共同运行。神经记录和成像技术的重大进展已掌握在研究人员手中，以进行以前的实验，从而产生了丰富的数据源，这些数据源可以使基本的神经科学及其临床意义有了新的启示。但是，数据集通常是大而复杂的，因此，如果要将大量新信息变成有用的知识，则需要新颖的分析方法。 （SAND7）将汇集欧洲生理学家，统计学家，物理学家和计算机科学家，对神经元数据的定量分析感兴趣。科学讲座将由6位主题演讲者和12名初级调查人员进行。每个主题演讲都将在主题上进行邀请讨论。还将有一个海报会议。将鼓励作者向《计算神经科学杂志》提交论文。 Sand7是2002年开始的系列赛的第七次研讨会。研讨会的目标是在神经元数据分析中定义重要问题，并为攻击它们定义了有用的策略。促进实验神经科学家与接受统计和计算方法培训的人之间的交流；并通过一组同行评审的文章进一步传播研讨会上提出的发现。其他目标是鼓励包括研究生在内的年轻研究人员介绍他们的工作；在这个跨学科领域中，使年轻的研究人员面临重要的挑战和机遇，同时提供了一个小的聚会氛围，以促进年轻研究人员与高级同事的相互作用；并包括作为参与者，代表性不足的少数民族和可能从小型研讨会环境中受益的残疾人。有关更多信息，请参见http://sand.stat.cmu.edu/sand。
