Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce the 2015 CCNS Summer School on Computational Neuroscience. This week-long program will be held on July 27-31,2015 as part of the 2015-16 program on Challenges in Computational Neuroscience (CCNS) at the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA. ( http://www.samsi.info/CCNS )

The school will include courses on five major research topics in computational neuroscience by the following instructors:

* Neural Spike Train Analysis Mark A. Kramer, Boston University Uri Eden, Boston University * Compressed Sensing for Signal Processing Justin Romberg, Georgia Tech * Functional Data Analysis for Medical Imaging Data Hans-Georg Muller, University of California, Davis Jane-Ling Wang, University of California, Davis * Big-biomedical Data Integration and Analysis Jeffrey S. Morris, MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas Hongtu Zhu, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Yu-Ping Wang, Tulane University * Shape Analysis and Diffeomorphisms for Medical Imaging Data Laurent Younes, Johns Hopkins University

The instructors will give an in-depth overview of each topic followed by problem/discussion sessions. Software packages will be introduced to students with datasets to carry out some simple data analysis. This summer school is targeted for graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty from neuroscience, biomedical engineering, radiology, statistics, and applied mathematics. We may consider a limited number of applications from senior faculty.

The application deadline is Monday, June 1, 2015
