The Annual Human Brain Project meeting takes place in Bethesda Maryland, May 12-13. This interesting neuroinformatics meeting combines the concepts and principles developed in neuroscience research with those from the fields of computer science and information technology (informatics) research. The creation of a distributed neuroscience information management system will allow scientists to more easily integrate data both within and across systems and create new knowledge toward understanding nervous system development and function.

The program is worth a look, especially if you were wondering what neuroinformatics is all about.
