Stream Neuroscience

VII Summer School “Achievements and Applications of Contemporary
Informatics, Mathematics and Physics” (AACIMP-2012)

The stream “Neuroscience” introduces students, PhD students and young
scientists to Neuroscience field in general and Computational Neuroscience
one in particular from synaptic transmission up to neuro- & brain- computer
interface, including single neuron level, small neural circuits, network
and neural populations as well as an overview of different structures and
various functions of the brain.

Lectures and workshops will be presented by prominent scientists from all
over the world:

The stream is positioned as an ‘introduction to’, thus it is the best
opportunity for young scientists to learn about Neuroscience and
Computational Neuroscience, take overview of recent history of these fields
from the ‘first hands’ as well as to be introduced to the new trends such
as Computational Neuropharmacology, Computational Psychiatry and
Computational Social Science. The stream is oriented to ordinary audience
with the background in natural sciences.


The stream is a part of VII Summer School “AACIMP-2012” that will take
place at the National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnic
Institute” (Kyiv, Ukraine), August 3 – 16, 2012. It will include lectures,
seminars and workshops.
