Aspen Brain Forum: Post 1

We are currently writing from the exciting conference 'Cracking the Neural Code' This morning we heard Christof Koch from the Allen Institute for Brain Science in WA speak about the 10 year project to study principles that explain how information is encoded, processed, and represented in the mammalian cortex and other related structures. This effort explores visual perception, consciousness and decision-making in the mouse. The goal is to integrate knowledge so as to better understand the wiring of the cortex at both functional and structural levels.

Aspen Brain Forum

Today Marcus and I are preparing for our trip to Colorado tomorrow. We will be at the Aspen Brain Forum this next week where we will connect with neuroscientists from around the world. The title of this forum is 'Cracking the Neural Code' and promises to be an exciting conference! Last year at the Aspen forum we were delighted to connect with some of our students.

New York Academy of Sciences and Aspen Brain Forum Foundation Conference

We are pleased to be at The Aspen Institute attending a conference sponsored by The New York Academy of Sciences and the The Aspen Brain Forum Foundation. The purpose of the conference is to discuss current scientific research and implications for education. Our day started with a lovely hike along the riverside and through the aspens. The weather is sunny and brisk...a perfect fall day! We will follow-up with more information once the conference begins.
