Welcome to SPAQ2018 Workshop
Latest Advances in Understanding Complex Spatial Navigation in Animals, Computational Models and Neuro-Inspired Robots
Special Issue Biological Cybernetics Volume 14, Issue 2, April 2020
Friday, September 28th, 2018
INSERM, Lyon, France
Description:
The goal of this 1-day workshop is to discuss the latest advances in understanding the neural mechanisms of complex spatial navigation using experimental studies in Animals, Computational Neuroscience and Neurorobotics. The format of the workshop will be 30 minutes presentations giving emphasis on studies that relate at least 2 of the 3 techniques (Animals, Computational Neuroscience and Neurorobotics). The succinct presentation format will allow for ample time for a panel to discuss current and future advances in the area, and possible future collaboration opportunities. Additionally, original work presented during the workshop will be invited for a special issue in the journal of Biological Cybernetics.
