This year the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and
Behaviour is organizing the
Summer school on “Brain Networks and Neuronal Communication”
Sunday 25 August - Friday 30 August 2013
One week of intensive study on brain networks spanning
communication between single neurons to large scale network
interactions. National and international faculty, with
expertise in theoretical neuroscience, animal
electrophysiology and human brain imaging will train
students on how to build bridges between the various levels
of brain functioning. This school will promote vertical
integration, promoting new ways of conceptualizing neuronal
communication and brain connectivity. Faculty lectures,
journal clubs, hands-on computer exercises and demos will
guide the daily program. The evenings will be reserved for
the students developing novel research proposals and social
activities.
The school
is directed at national and international graduate students
(advanced MSc & PhD students; total number of 30) who wish
to develop an integrated perspective on brain networks and
neuronal communication; an important component of
neuroscience. Students are requested to prepare for the
school by reading a number of relevant [bw] research papers.
A reading list will be send prior to the meeting. The school
takes place at Conference Center "De
Poort" in Groesbeek (NL), which is nicely situated in
the woods around Nijmegen.
Topics include
Experimental techniques, advances data analysis,
computational modeling and computer labs. The program can be
found
