4-8 July 2022 Summer School
We invite advanced master students,
doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers to participate
in the BNNI 2022 to be held at Jagiellonian University in
Kraków. The course is interdisciplinary and covers
modeling at different levels of organization of the brain as well
as elements of machine learning. The course combines lectures,
tutorials and computer exercises for computational modeling and
analysis of brain functions at multiple physiological and
anatomical scales. The summer school will follow the series of the
Baltic-Nordic Courses on Neuroinformatics (BNNI 2013 in Kaunas,
BNNI 2014 in Tampere, BNNI 2015 in Tartu, BNNI 2016 in Warsaw,
BNNI 2017 in Kaunas, BNNI 2018 in Ventspils, BNNI 2019 in
Frankfurt, BNNI
2021 online).
The target audience of the
course will be advanced master students, doctoral students and
postdoctoral researchers in natural science, including physics,
chemistry, mathematics, computer science, informatics and
information technology, and similar who would like to get an
introduction to neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience.
Advanced master students, doctoral students and postdoctoral
researchers in neuroscience and psychology with strong interest in
computer science, data analysis and mathematics, and some
educational and/or research background in quantitative science are
also encouraged to apply. The school will be in hybrid
format with up to 40 in-person places.
