The workshop will bring together neuroscientists and mathematicians from different disciplines, with the purpose of discussing the use of new mathematicalmethods based on geometry, algebraic topology, and category theory, to problems of modelling and of data analysis in neuroscience. These new mathematical approaches can complement and enrich the more traditional use of dynamical systems and differential equations, in modelling the brain at scaleslarger than single neurons, in terms of connectivity, functionality, neural coding and information flows.
