Stream Neuroscience

VII Summer School "Achievements and Applications of Contemporary Informatics,

Mathematics and Physics" (AACIMP-2012)

The stream "Neuroscience" introduces students, PhD students and young

scientists to general Neuroscience and particular Computational Neuroscience

fields from synaptic transmission up to neuro- & brain- computer interface,

including single neuron level, small neural circuits, network and neural

populations as well as overview of different structure and different functions

of a brain.

Lectures and workshops will be presented by prominent scientists from all over

the world:

(?) Dr. Tatiana Aksenova (Atomic Energy Center (CEA), Grenoble, France).

(*) Dr. Pavel Belan (Bogomolets Institute of Physiology of the NASU, Kyiv,

Ukraine).

(*) Dr. Evgenia Belova (A.B. Kogan Research Institute for Neurocybernetics,

Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia).

(?) Prof. Carmen Canavier (Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, USA).

(*) Dr. Anton Chizhov (Ioffe Physical Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia).

(*) Dr. Gennady S. Cymbalyuk (Dynamical Neuroscience Laboratory, Neuroscience

Institute, Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA).

(*) Prof. Witali Dunin-Barkowski (Department of Neuroinfomatics, Scientific

Research Institute for System Analysis, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow,

Russia).

(*) Prof. Péter Érdi (Center for Complex Systems Studies, Department of Physics, Department of Psychology, Kalamazoo College, USA; Budapest Complex Systems and Computational Neuroscience Group, Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary; BCSC: Budapest Semester in Cognitive Science).

(*) Dr. Nikolai Kononenko (Department of General Physiology of Nervous System, Institute of Physiology, Kyiv, Ukraine).

(*) Prof. John Rinzel (Center for Neural Science, New York University, New York, USA; Tsinghua University, Beijing, China).

(*) Dr. Ruben Tikidji-Hamburyan (A.B.Kogan Research Institute for

Neurocybernetics, Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, Russia;

Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, USA).

(*) Dr. Nana Voitenko (Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Physics and Technology Center of the NASU, Kyiv, Ukraine).

The stream is positioned as 'introduction to', thus it is best opportunity for

young scientists to learn about Neuroscience and Computational Neuroscience,

to take overview of recent history of these fields form 'first hands' as well

as introduce to new trends such as Computational Neuropharmacology,

Computational Psychiatry and Computational Social Science. The stream is

oriented to ordinary audience with the background in natural sciences.

The stream is a part of VII Summer School "AACIMP-2012" that will take place

at the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute"

(Kyiv, Ukraine), August 3 – 16, 2012. It will include lectures, seminars and

workshops.
