Computational and IT challenges in neuroscience research

Date and time: 28/08/2007 Location: Clayton

Presenter: Richard Beare, Department of Medicine, Monash Medical Centre

Abstract: The Neuroscience Research group carries out clinically oriented neuroscience research. This seminar will provide an overview of the technologies being used and describe the practical issues associated with developing new analysis methods and applying them to large datasets. It is hoped that this discussion will lead to collaboration on application of grid computing to neuroscience research.
