Applications are through the course web page (<a href="https://groups.oist.jp/ocnc" class="">https://groups.oist.jp/ocnc</a>) only; January 1 - January 31, 2023. <br class="">Applicants will receive confirmation of acceptance end of March.<br class=""><br class="">Like in preceding years, the 18th OCNC will be a comprehensive three-week course covering single neurons, networks, and behaviors with ample time for student projects. The first week will focus exclusively on methods with hands-on tutorials during the afternoons, while the second and third weeks will have lectures by international and local experts. The course has a strong hands-on component based on student proposed modeling or data analysis projects, which are further refined with the help of a dedicated tutor. Applicants are required to propose their project at the time of application. <br class=""><br class="">There is no tuition fee. The sponsor will provide lodging and meals during the course and may provide partial travel support. We hope that this course will be a good opportunity for theoretical and experimental neuroscientists to meet each other and to explore the attractive nature and culture of Okinawa, the southernmost island prefecture of Japan.<br class=""><br class="">Invited faculty:<br class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Upinder Bhalla (NCBS, India)<br class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Claudia Clopath (Imperial College London, UK)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Erik De Schutter (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Kenji Doya (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Tomoki Fukai (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Izumi Fukunaga (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Yukiko Goda (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Mike Häusser (University College London, UK)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Bernd Kuhn (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Jinny Kim (KIST, South Korea)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Rosalyn Moran (King's College London, UK)</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Steve Prescott (University of Toronto, Canada)</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Sam Reiter (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Greg Stephens (OIST)<br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>• Kazumasa Tanaka (OIST)</div></body></html>
