<br>
We would like to invite you to join us for the third annual
Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School. The course
is about experimental, computational and medical aspects of
sensory-motor neuroscience with a focus on data/model sharing.
Covered topics include Bayesian approaches, motor control,
computational neuroimaging, sensory-motor transformations and
prosthetics. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<b>Application deadline: April 27, 2014</b><br>

The school is co-organized by Drs Gunnar Blohm, Paul Schrater and
Konrad Körding. It receives funding from the National Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) via an NSERC-CREATE
training grant on "Computational Approaches in Neuroscience –
Action, Control & Transformations", and from the National
Science Foundation (NSF, USA).<br>
