NAMASEN (http://www.namasen.net/) is a multi-disciplinary Initial Training Network (ITN) funded under the EU FP7 Marie Curie Actions. Its 3rd workshop, hosted by the University of Sheffield, UK, is open to PhD students and researchers and will focus on theory and models in Neuroscience.
The aim of the workshop is to provide a view of current computational and theoretical models that can be employed to tackle key biological questions such as neural plasticity and its role in memory formation, dendritic and neural computation, and reinforcement learning and its role in decision-making and shaping behaviour.
