School
We invite advanced master students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers
to participate in the BNNI 2018 to be held at the Ventspils University of
Applied Sciences, Ventspils, Latvia in 11-13 June 2018.
The course is interdisciplinary and covers modeling at different levels of
organization of the brain. Additionally this year's
training course is planned more diverse and will include also EEG/SEEG signal processing techniques, forward and inverse modeling of the brain and various aspects of deep learning algorithms. This school is the sixth in the
series of the Baltic-Nordic Courses on Neuroinformatics (BNNI 2013
in Kaunas, Lithuania; BNNI 2014 in Tampere, Finland; BNNI 2015 in Tartu, Estonia; BNNI 2016 in Warsaw, Poland, BNNI 2017 in Kaunas, Lithuania).
The target audience of the course will be advanced master students, doctoral
students and postdoctoral researchers in biomedical and technology sciences, from medicine, biology, psychology, to mathematics, informatics, information technology, physics, chemistry, who would like to get an introduction to neuroinformatics and
computational neuroscience. Some experience with programming and quantitative reasoning as well as strong interest in computational and mathematical modeling of the brain will be desirable but not necessary to benefit from the school. Last year we had participants
from 14 countries all over the world!
