Course in Computational Neurosciene

[Michael Herrmann]

              Applications are invited for a tutorial course on

              COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE at Goettingen, Germany

                           September 24 - 28, 2003

                presented by the German Neuroscience Society
           organized by J. M. Herrmann, M. Diesmann, and T. Geisel

The course is intended to provide graduate students and young researchers from all
parts of neuroscience with working knowledge of theoretical and computational
methods in neuroscience and to acquaint them with recent developments in this field.
The course includes topics such as

* Mechanisms and models of visual attention
* Models of synaptic background activity
* Theory of neural coding
* Structure and function of large-scale cortical networks
* Theory of sensor-motor learning
* Dynamics in local neural networks.

Tutorials and lectures will be given by:

Prof. Dr.  Stefan Treue (Goettingen)
Dr. Nicolas Brunel (Paris)
Dr. Michael Rudolph (Paris)
Prof. Dr. Klaus Pawelzik (Bremen)
PD Dr. Markus Lappe (Muenster)
PD Dr. Rolf Koetter (Duesseldorf)
Dr. Christian Eurich (Bremen), and by the organizers.

The course takes place at the Department of Nonlinear Dynamics of the Max-Planck
Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Bunsenstr. 10, D-37073 Goettingen. The course
is free for members of the German Neuroscience Society, while non-members are
