DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal application for an Institutional Training Grant to support post-doctoral training in Computational Visual Neuroscience at the Center for Neural Science (CNS) and the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences (CIMS) at the Washington Square campus of New York University. The first funding period for this grant began in September 2001. Since inception this training grant has provided postdoctoral training in computational visual neuroscience at the Center for Neural Science (CNS) and the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences (CIMS) of New York University. We have trained junior scientists with backgrounds in the mathematical, computational, and physical sciences for research careers in visual neuroscience. This program is for postdoctoral fellows with appointments in CNS who will have research or thesis projects, respectively, under joint co-supervision by faculty members in CNS and CIMS. We will emphasize the bi-directional interaction between large-scale mathematical modeling and neurobiological experimentation, for instance the application of modern techniques for brain imaging (fMRI, optical imaging, electrical source imaging, and multi-unit recording). The Training Program will be founded upon our extensive experience at CNS and CIMS in interdisciplinary research and training. Special Features of the Program include: (i) hands on exposure to neuroscience research in laboratories of the Program's faculty; (ii) to provide a good working knowledge of mathematical and computational tools, and neuroscience; (iii) research experience as members of interdisciplinary research teams, with co-advisors from CNS and CIMS; (iv) weekly working group meetings during the academic year, to discuss ongoing research, theoretical issues, and techniques, as a vehicle for bridging the two cultures of mathematics and neuroscience; (v) excellent computational facilities located within CNS and CIMS; (vi) state-of-the-art brain imaging facilities in a new NYU Brain Imaging Center and in allied laboratories.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份机构培训补助金的竞争性更新申请，旨在支持华盛顿大学神经科学中心 (CNS) 和库朗数学科学研究所 (CIMS) 的计算视觉神经科学博士后培训纽约大学方形校园。该资助的第一个资助期于 2001 年 9 月开始。自启动以来，该培训资助已在纽约大学神经科学中心 (CNS) 和库朗数学科学研究所 (CIMS) 提供计算视觉神经科学方面的博士后培训。我们培训了具有数学、计算和物理科学背景的初级科学家，从事视觉神经科学的研究工作。该项目面向在 CNS 任职的博士后研究员，他们将在 CNS 和 CIMS 教员的共同监督下分别进行研究或论文项目。我们将强调大规模数学建模和神经生物学实验之间的双向相互作用，例如现代脑成像技术（功能磁共振成像、光学成像、电源成像和多单元记录）的应用。该培训计划将建立在我们在 CNS 和 CIMS 跨学科研究和培训方面的丰富经验的基础上。该计划的特色包括：（i）在该计划教师的实验室中亲身接触神经科学研究； (ii) 提供数学和计算工具以及神经科学的良好应用知识； (iii) 作为跨学科研究团队成员的研究经验，联合顾问来自 CNS 和 CIMS； (iv) 学年期间每周举行工作组会议，讨论正在进行的研究、理论问题和技术，作为弥合数学和神经科学两种文化的工具； (v) CNS 和 CIMS 内的优秀计算设施； (vi) 新的纽约大学脑成像中心和联合实验室拥有最先进的脑成像设施。
