• Introductory neuroscience / Elaine Murray, Ulster University
• Mathematics for neuroscience / Rachel Nicks, University of Nottingham
• Computational modelling of plasticity and learning in brains / Cian O’Donnell, Ulster University
• Computational modelling of neuronal and glial interactions / Liam McDaid, Ulster University
• Modelling the dynamics of decision-making / KongFatt Wong-Lin, Ulster University
• Investigating time series neural data: Common signal processing practices / Saugat Bhattacharyya, Ulster University
• Fundamentals of functional and effective connectivity / Maria Dauvermann, University of Birmingham
• Non-invasive brain-computer interfaces: Enhancing applicability using computational intelligence and technological advances / Girijesh Prasad, Ulster University
• Decoding mental imagery from electroencephalography (EEG) and applications of AI-enabled wearable neurotechnology for communication and rehabilitation / Damien Coyle, University of Bath & Ulster University
• Brain-inspired spiking neural network models for life-long and explainable learning / Nikola Kasabov, Auckland University of Technology & Ulster University
• Introduction to Lifelong Learning / Shirin Dora, Loughborough University
• Foundations of Large Language Models / Muskaan Singh, Ulster University
• Neuromorphic Engineering / Jim Harkin, Ulster University
• Ethical and regulatory issues in Neuroscience

There will also be daily computer lab sessions and group projects.

 

The school is primarily targeted at PhD student level but we also welcome applications from MSc students, postdoctoral researchers, academic faculty, and industrial researchers. Registration is made highly affordable: £50 for attendees from high-income countries, £20 for attendees from low- and middle-income countries.
