Applications are open for the Methods in Computational Neuroscience
course at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA.
The course dates will be July 31 – August 28, 2013, and the online application
form can be found at:
http://hermes.mbl.edu/education/admissions/applications/index.html.
Note that the course application deadline is *March 6*.
The course covers a range of topics in computational neuroscience including neuronal biophysics, neural coding & information processing, circuit dynamics, learning & memory, motor control, and cognitive processing & disease. In addition, numerous tutorials and problem sets will cover a broad range of computational and mathematical modeling methods. The course strongly emphasizes the collaboration between theory and experiment in solving neuroscience problems, and lectures will be given by a mixture of theorists and experimentalists.
The final weeks of the course will primarily be reserved for development and work on projects that students design in collaboration with the resident faculty. Further information can be found on the course website: http://hermes.mbl.edu/education/courses/special_topics/mcn.html.
