Connectionists: 5th Course on Computational Neuroscience at Goettingen

[Michael Herrmann]

      Applications are invited for the fifth fall course on

        COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE at Goettingen, Germany

                     September 18 - 23, 2007

     organized by Hecke Schrobsdorff and J. Michael Herrmann

The course is intended to provide graduate students and young
researchers from all parts of neuroscience with working knowledge
of theoretical and computational methods in neuroscience and to
acquaint them with recent developments in this field. The course
includes tutorials and lectures on the following topics:

Active sensing and neuronal signaling in the vibrissa system
                                                     David Kleinfeld

Dynamics of neuronal excitability: spike generation, neuromodulation,
oscillation
                                                        Boris Gutkin

Synaptic integration in single neurons*
                                                     Michael Hausser

Neural activity patterns in premotor brain areas of the songbird
                                                   Richard Hahnloser

Plasticity and compositionality in cortical networks
                                                     Markus Diesmann

The course takes place at the Bernstein Center for Computational
Neuroscience Goettingen and is located at the Department of
Nonlinear Dynamics of the Max-Planck Institute for Dynamics and
Selforganization, Bunsenstr. 10, D-37073 Goettingen, Germany.

A course fee of 100 Euros includes participation in the tutorials,
study materials, and part of the social events. The number of
participants is limited to about 32. Course language is English.
