What is neuroinformatics?

Neuroinformatics is a multidisciplinary subject dealing with the analysis and management of data gathered from the nervous system. The disciplines relevant to neuroinformatics include neuroscience, statistics, signal processing, computer science, and the physical sciences.

This website concentrates on data analysis questions, which are complementary to data management questions. In particular, we are concerned with a variety of time series data gathered from neural systems, ranging from invasively measured electrophysiological data (spike trains, field potentials), EEG/MEG data, to image time series obtained using optical or magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Some other time series data types considered include behavioural measurements.
