Announcing a new course:

Computational Approaches to Memory and Plasticity (CAMP @
Bangalore)<http://www.ncbs.res.in/camp>
.
Venue: National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore,
India<http://www.ncbs.res.in/>
Dates: 28th June to 12th July, 2014
 Organizer: Upinder Bhalla (NCBS, Bangalore,
India)<http://www.ncbs.res.in/bhalla>

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. The course 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 30th Mar, 2014.


A poster for the school can be downloaded at the course
