(Secretariat)
Research Area(s): General neuroinformatics, Digital atlasing, Neuroimaging, Infrastructural and portal services
Research focus: Jan Bjaalie is Head of the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway, and Special Advisor to the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. He received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in 1986 and 1990, respectively, and was appointed Associate Professor at the University of Oslo in 1992 and full Professor in 1997. His research group joined the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience, a Norwegian Centre of Excellence appointed by The Research Council of Norway, in 2002. His laboratory has discovered fundamental principles of sensory map transformations in large projection systems of the brain and has performed novel regional and whole brain atlasing and histological mapping. The laboratory has used ‘gold standard’ anatomical methods in combination with computerized methods for visualization and quantitative analyses, electrophysiology, and in vivo imaging, for studying systems level organization in the brain. In the context of this research, the group has developed a variety of software, including tools for 3-D reconstruction and advanced visualization of neuronal organization as well as database applications for neuroanatomical image data. The tools and databases of the laboratory are made available via the Rodent Brain Workbench, http://rbwb.org. Professor Bjaalie has been partner and coordinator of several EU funded projects and has collaborated extensively with leading laboratories in many countries. He serves on the board of several journals and is a member of the Neuroinformatics Committee of the Society for Neuroscience. He served as founding Executive Director of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility 2006 - 2008.

Research Area(s): Neuro-Robotics
Research focus: My research interest is understanding information processing and reasoning in distributed systems, such as brains. I implement models of my hypotheses in robotic systems to (a) force them to deal with unreliable real-world input instead of abstract data; and to (b) advance current robot technology, ultimately allowing robots to interacting in real-world situations. More information about my current research here: http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~conradt/projects .

Research Area(s): General neuroinformatics, Computational neuroscience, Large scale modeling
Research focus: One of the major challenges in neuroscience is to understand the biophysical mechanisms and algorithms underlying neural computation. In my laboratory, we use mathematical models, analysis, and computer simulations to examine the dynamics of neurons and neuronal networks and to understand the mechanisms underlying plasticity in neuron or network behavior due to trauma, rehabilitation, learning or development. Our current research focuses on several related topics including 1) how alterations in dendritic morphology, synapse distributions and membrane properties affect cell dynamics and 2) the roles of synaptic activity, intracellular calcium, and neuromodulators in plasticity and development. My research group also contributes to an international effort to create standards for describing models in neuroscience. NeuroML provides a common description language for neuroanatomical data, for the biophysical properties of membranes, and for network connectivity for use in model specifications. These standards can be used by down-stream software applications to aid model exchange and simulator interoperability.
