 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to administer and further develop a successfully established two-week summer training course titled "Mining and Modeling of Neuroscience Data" which is held at UC Berkeley. The course teaches methods for analyzing neurophysiology data, that is, measurements of the neural activity over time, co-registered with behavior or stimuli. With the Obama BRAIN initiative in full swing, rich neurophysiology data will become available at a high rate. The course has the goal to help build a workforce for leveraging these data and is designed to fill in a significant gap in training opportunities in the intersection between neuroscience and computational methods (computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering). Specifically, attendees of the course will be individuals either with a quantitative background and interest in neuroscience or with a background in neuroscience who wish to learn cutting edge approaches for the analysis of neuroscience data. To recruit students from Computer Science and Mathematics the project is partnered with the Simons Institute of the Theory of Computing and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. The training provided by this course will help increase the pool of researches who can apply existing and develop novel methodology for analyzing and modeling large, complex neurophysiology data sets. Increasing this type of quantitative knowledge in neuroscience will be essential to enhancing the understanding of the brain and developing approaches to treat disorders of the brain.

 描述（由适用提供）：该提案是为了管理并进一步开发了一个成功的为期两周的夏季培训课程，标题为“神经科学数据的采矿和建模”，该课程在加州大学伯克利分校举行。该课程教授分析神经生理学数据的方法，即随着时间的流逝，神经活性的测量，与行为或刺激共同注册。随着奥巴马大脑如火如荼，丰富的神经生理学数据将以高速度获得。该课程的目标是帮助建立一名劳动力来利用这些数据，并旨在填补培训机会的巨大差距 神经科学与计算方法之间的交集（计算机科学，数学，统计，物理，工程）。具体而言，该课程的与会者将是具有定量背景和对神经科学的兴趣的人，或者具有神经科学背景的人，他们希望学习尖端方法以分析神经科学数据。为了招募来自计算机科学和数学的学生，该项目与Simons计算理论与数学科学研究所合作。本课程提供的培训将有助于增加可以应用现有和开发新方法的研究池，以分析和建模大型，复杂的神经生理学数据集。在神经科学中增加这种定量知识对于增强对大脑的理解和发展的方法来治疗大脑疾病至关重要。
