The Center for Neural Data Science Seminar Series is a platform for trainees across campus to share insights and innovative approaches that bridge the gap between neuroscience and data science.
As neuroscience continues to generate vast amounts of data—from intricate neural circuit maps to large-scale brain activity recordings—the need for interdisciplinary expertise in data science, statistics, and engineering has never been more critical.
The Center for Neural Data Science mission is to advance brain research through the development of cutting-edge analytical methodologies and collaborative approaches. Stanford's affiliates are invited to join this vibrant community dedicated to transformative discoveries.
