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.<br>
<br>Students worldwide are encouraged to apply online at <a href="http://www.ncbs.res.in/camp" target="_blank">www.ncbs.res.in/camp</a> latest by 30th Mar, 2014.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
