Science Workshop
Neuroinformatics:
Challenges for The Netherlands

ZonMw Building, Den Haag, Friday, November 26, 2004

Neuroinformatics opportunities in The Netherlands. Data sharing, integration and analysis, and advancement of theories of nervous system function through the development of neuroscience data and knowledge bases, analytical and simulation tools, and computational models. Challenges for the computer sciences, the neurosciences, and the mathematical and physical sciences
