Advanced Photonic Imaging in Neuroscience 2019
Au cours des dernières décennies, l’imagerie photonique et ses différentes applications ont connu des développements importants qui en font aujourd’hui des outils indispensables à la recherche en neurosciences, que ce soit pour l’exploration anatomique ou fonctionnelle sur des modèle in vitro ou in vivo. L’objectif premier du Colloque « Advanced Imaging in Neuroscience (APIN 2019) » est de présenter à la communauté des neurosciences les dernières avancées et applications dans le domaine et de réunir des chercheurs nationaux et internationaux autour d’un événement majeur et ainsi permettre des échanges et la mise en place de collaboration future. L’événement s’adresse également à des jeunes chercheurs (Doctorants et Postdoctorants) en leur permettant de présenter leur travaux, d’élargir leur réseau et de rencontrer de futurs employeurs.

Art of Neuroscience competition
The Art of Neuroscience is an international competition open to scientists and artists worldwide. We are looking for striking visualizations related to the field of neuroscience in its broadest sense. Submissions can include images or videos representing actual neural data or tissue, but also more abstract visualizations, sculptures or even musical scores that are in some way related to concepts about nervous tissue, the brain or cognition.
The deadline for this year’s competition is May 15th, 2019.
The winner will be awarded €1000.
Four runners up (honorable mentions) will be selected and awarded a €250 prize.
To submit your work, please register on the website. After registration is validated, you can login to submit your work.

Concours Beautiful Science
En partenariat avec la Société des Neurosciences
Ouverture du concours d’images & sons
Beautiful Science
Parce que la science rime aussi avec beauté, créativité et émerveillement, redécouvrons le monde magnifique et mystérieux qui nous entoure à l’occasion du concours Beautiful Science, le concours d’images & sons lancé par la Société Française de Physique à l’occasion de son prochain Congrès Général.
Parrainé par le collectif OBVIOUS (ces 3 jeunes français à l’origine de la première peinture générée par intelligence artificielle), le concours est ouvert à tous et à toutes les sciences. Son thème « Montrer la science dans ce qu’elle a de plus beau et de plus élégant, de l’infiniment petit à l’infiniment grand ! »
Les meilleures œuvres (photos, vidéos, dessins, pistes audios etc.) seront exposées à la Cité des Congrès de Nantes du 8 au 12 juillet 2019 et publiées sur les sites et dans les revues partenaires.
Pour les lauréat(e)s de nombreux cadeaux sont à gagner : prix spéciaux offerts par la Fondation Nanosciences, l’AFM et l’UdPPC ; places de spectacles, livres, abonnements et plein d’autres surprises !

ENCODS 2019
Neuroscience is one of the fastest-growing disciplines, which has reached unprecedented size and diversity. Given the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience, interaction between different sub-disciplines is a key to advance the field.
ENCODS 2019 aims to offer a unique platform for early-career neuroscientists from different backgrounds to interact with both international renowned scientists and fellow students. We believe that bringing together neuroscientists around the world will foster discussions, collaborations, and to prepare early-career researchers to embrace future opportunities and challenges. ENCODS 2019 features talks by world-leading neuroscientists, workshops on transferable skills, PhD talks, poster sessions, and career talks.
Application deadline extended: 15 March 2019
The main target participants are PhD students in neuroscience-related disciplines from around the world, although people with strong interests in neuroscience from other early-career stages are also encouraged to apply. We strongly encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds to apply, and would like to offer travel grants and fee waivers for those in need.

The event will take place at The Francis Crick Institute, London, United Kingdom on 24th-25th June 2019.

Dynamics of the brain: temporal aspects of computation
The brain is an extraordinarily complex dynamical system whose critical operations run over timescales ranging from the sub-millisecond (e.g., auditory perception), to the circadian (e.g., sleep and homeostatic phenomena), to weeks and years (e.g., learning and memory). Brain circuits express collective properties that can be detected macroscopically, such as traveling waves or oscillations, but recent developments also reveal, through large scale recordings of neuron populations, smaller-scale spatiotemporal phenomena such as transient dynamics (spatio-temporal multi-neuronal activation patterns in response to odours, in preparation for action, in “replay » during sleep). Those dynamics suggest strong constraints on the orchestration of activity in brain circuits. This conference will explore experimental and theoretical approaches to understand the underpinnings of such dynamics and their relevance for computation in the brain.
Organised by FENS in collaboration with Lundbeck Foundation, awarder of The Brain Prize, these bi-annual conferences bring together outstanding researchers in key areas of contemporary neuroscience to discuss current concepts and define challenges for future research.
