1st DAISY / FACETS joint workshop at ETH Zürich: Cortical circuitry[]

Audience: People from DAISY and FACETS project.

Aim of the meeting was to 'break the ice' between the two projects and to have a mutual exchange of ideas among them.

The format has been short talks with discussions (20 min + 10 min) plus "communication breaks" (coffee served).
