[Comp-neuro] Summer course in Computational Neuroscience: Vision

Summer course

COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE: VISION

June 20 – July 3, 2012

COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY

Application Deadline: March 15, 2012

 

Arranged by Geoffrey Boynton, Gregory Horwitz, and Stefan Treue

The course is offered every two years and gives 24 graduate students and postdocs switching into this field of research the chance for intensive interchange with a diverse faculty in an intellectually stimulating environment.

The goal of the course is to introduce students (usually in the middle of their thesis project) to the processing of visual information as a model for general issues in systems neuroscience. The emphasis is on approaches with strong theoretical bases. In addition to talks by an international faculty, the course offers ample opportunity to interact with the speakers and to apply the knowledge gained in the course through hands-on projects.
