Applications are open for the Methods in Computational Neuroscience
course at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. The course
will run from July 30 to August 24, 2017, and the online application
form can be found at:
https://ws2.mbl.edu/studentapp/studentapp.asp?courseid=MCN
The course application deadline is *March 7*.
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 are primarily reserved for work on
projects that students design in collaboration with the resident
faculty. Further information can be found on the MCN website:
