Computational Approaches to Memory and Plasticity (CAMP @ Bangalore) 2014.

Website: http://www.ncbs.res.in/camp/

Venue: National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India

Dates: 28th June to 12th July, 2014

Organizer: Upinder Bhalla (NCBS, Bangalore, India)

CAMP @ Bangalore is a 15-day summer school on the theory and simulation of learning, memory and plasticity in the brain. PhD students and post-docs from theoretical and/or experimental backgrounds (physics, math, neuroscience, engineering, etc.) are welcome. Familiarity with programming, dynamical systems, and/or computational neuroscience is highly desirable. Master's or Bachelor's degree students can apply if they have sufficient background beyond course-work. The school will start with remedial tutorials on neuroscience / math / programming and then work upwards from sub-cellular electrical and chemical signaling in neurons, onward to micro-circuits and networks, all with an emphasis on learning, memory and plasticity.

Students worldwide are encouraged to apply online at www.ncbs.res.in/camp latest by 14th Apr, 2014.
