*Sixth Annual Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School 
(CoSMo 2016)*

University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
July 31  - August 14, 2016


We would like to invite you to join us for the sixth annual 
Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School. The course is 
about experimental, computational and medical aspects of sensory-motor 
neuroscience with a focus on active learning. Covered topics include 
multi-sensory integration, motor learning & control, computational 
methods, sensory-motor transformations and neural coding / decoding.

An important focus is on doing research as opposed to just hearing about 
it. Each teaching module will take up two days with morning lecture 
sessions. Afternoon sessions involve hands-on Matlab programming, 
simulation and data-analysis. Newly acquired computational tools can 
also be applied in 2-week evening group research projects.

The course is aimed at students and post-doctoral fellows from diverse 
backgrounds including Life Sciences, Psychology, Computer Science, 
Physics, Mathematics and Engineering. Basic knowledge in calculus, 
linear algebra and Matlab is expected. Enrollment will be limited to 40 
trainees.

*Application deadline: Apr 11, 2016*

The school is co-organized by Drs Gunnar Blohm, Paul Schrater, and 
Konrad Körding. This year, it receives funding from the NIH through a 
Brain Initiative R25 grant and from The Brain Canada Foundation.
