<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">The aCNS school
within the Advanced Computational Neuroscience School in the
Emotion-Cognition-Link-Series is a <b>9</b><b>-day intensive
course</b> in <b>mathematical and computational neuroscience</b>.
It offers an intensive pedagogy of advanced mathematical and
computational tools to students working in computational
neuroscience and already familiar with its interdisciplinary
nature and is designed to qualify young researchers to push the
frontiers of the field.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">The consecutive two
day thematic blocks are dedicated to mathematical approaches to
circuit dynamics. Each lecturer will give a self-contained
introduction to a particular set of theoretical tools in a block
of two morning lectures. In the afternoon, participants will work
on problem sets designed to develop proficiency in both the
mathematical and computational tools learned earlier that day. An
additional set of evening ‘easy’ lectures will give the
opportunity to discuss significant advances in the field.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">The course takes
place at the Department of Nonlinear Dynamics of the Max-Planck
Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen.
Registration fee is 200 €. Course language is English. Housing is
provided by the school. Travel grants can be applied for.</p>
