Computational and Systems Neuroscience (COSYNE or CoSyNe) is an annual scientific conference for the exchange of experimental and theoretical/computational approaches to problems in systems neuroscience. It is an important meeting for computational neuroscientists where many levels of approaches are discussed. It is a single track-meeting with oral and poster sessions and attracts about 500-600 participants from a variety of disciplines. Currently the 3-day long main meeting in Salt Lake City is followed by two days of workshops at Snowbird, Utah.

The first COSYNE was organized in 2004 by Michael Shadlen, Alexander Pouget, Carlos Brody and Anthony Zador. The current Executive Committee consists of Alexander Pouget, Zachary Mainen, Anne Churchland and Anthony Zador.
