LACONEU 2014
III Latin American Summer School in Computational Neuroscience and
Biomedical Analysis
Special Topic: Computational Neuroscience / Network Neurodynamics / Basal
Ganglia and Motivated Learning
January 13th-31st, 2014
Valparaíso - CHILE
http://www.laconeu.cl
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The principal aims of LACONEU 2014 Summer School are to disseminate and to
develop Computational Neuroscience in Latin America, gathering researchers
and students with common interests in the beautiful and historical city of
Valparaiso, in Chile.

LACONEU 2014 expects to foster a collaborative exchange between the
attendees, researchers and students, based on fundamental theoretical and
practical knowledge, and thus, to help the establishment of strong,
long-term collaborations.

The proficiencies and expertise of the Faculty participants represent an
unique opportunity for this research area in Latin America.

For this version of LACONEU 2014 we propose a Summer School of three entire
weeks combining lectures and student projects. Each week is focused on a
different topic:
    Week1: Computational Neuroscience
    Week2: Network Neurodynamics
    Week3: Basal Ganglia and Motivated Learning.
