patients with psychiatric disorders. It will not only teach the theory of computational modeling, but also demonstrate open source software from multiple labs in it’s application to example data sets. </span>The goal is that students attending this course
can go home with a clear idea of which freely available software exists and how it can be applied to concrete problems, enabling them to use computational models with more expertise and confidence in their own scientific work. </span></td>
