Neuro Informatics 2013 August 27 - 29 Stockholm, Sweden Artwork by Nina Johansson | ninajohansson.se PROGRAM BOOK What is INCF? The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), together with its 17 member countries, coordinates collaborative informatics infrastructure for neuroscience and manages scientific programs to develop standards for data sharing, analysis, modeling, and simulation in order to catalyze insights into brain function in health and disease. INCF is an international organization launched in 2005, following a proposal from the Global Science Forum of the OECD to establish international coordination and collaborative informatics infrastructure for neuroscience. INCF is hosted by Karolinska Institutet and the Royal Institute of Technology, and the Secretariat is located on the Karolinska Institute Campus in Solna. INCF currently has 17 member countries across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Each member country establishes an INCF National Node to further the development of Neuroinformatics and to interface with the INCF Secretariat. The mission of INCF is to share and integrate neuroscience data and knowledge worldwide, with the aim to catalyze insights into brain function in health and disease. To fulfill this mission, INCF establishes and operates scientific programs to develop standards for neuroscience data sharing, analysis, modeling, and simulation. Currently there are 4 program areas: Digital Brain Atlasing, Ontologies for Neural Structures, Multi-scale modeling, and Standards for Data Sharing. More than 180 leading international researchers are involved in the programs. A cloud-based data federation - the INCF Dataspace - has been developed to enable collaboration between researchers through the sharing of neuroscience data, text, images, sounds, movies, models, and simulations.

The 6th Neuroinformatics Congress returns to where the congress started: Stockholm, the lively capital of Sweden, and site of the INCF secretariat. We expect many attendees, attracted by our exciting congress program and by Stockholm as a nice summer destination. Neuroinformatics 2013 is organized by the INCF together with the Swedish INCF Node. Overall the program structure is similar to previous years, mostly single track with 6 Keynotes, 4 Workshops, and 2 Poster and Demo Sessions; this year, we have introduced more contributed program content. For the first time, there will be an Oral Presentations Session for which 10 submitted abstracts were selected by the Program Committee out of 39 abstracts that requested an oral presentation. This session will bring you the newest science, and it nicely presents the wide range of research topics that are of interest to neuroinformaticians. Like last year, we also have two concurrent Workshops that were selected among submitted proposals. Content-wise we have an increased focus on clinical neuroinformatics, an important growth area for INCF and the community, and we end the congress with a Special Session on Large- Scale Brain Initiatives that will present Mindscope, BRAIN and the Human Brain Project. To broaden the scope of the congress, the program committee invited several Keynotes speakers who are not traditionally part of the neuroinformatics community to talk about highly relevant work in related fields. So while the Stockholm location may seem familiar to regular congress attendees, they will notice that this year’s program covers a wider range of neuroinformatics research and applications.
