Connectionists: Summer school in Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience (CoSMo 2014)

[Gunnar Blohm]

*Fourth Annual Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School 
(CoSMo 2014)*
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
August 3-17, 2014

We would like to invite you to join us for the third annual 
Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School. The course is 
about experimental, computational and medical aspects of sensory-motor 
neuroscience with a focus on data/model sharing. Covered topics include 
Bayesian approaches, motor control, computational neuroimaging, 
sensory-motor transformations and prosthetics.

An important focus is on doing research as opposed to just hearing about 
it. Each teaching module will take up two days with morning lecture 
sessions. Afternoon sessions involve hands-on Matlab programming, 
simulation and data-analysis. Newly acquired computational tools can 
also be applied in 2-week evening group research projects.

The course is aimed at students and post-doctoral fellows from diverse 
backgrounds including Life Sciences, Psychology, Computer Science, 
Physics, Mathematics and Engineering. Basic knowledge in calculus, 
linear algebra and Matlab is expected. Enrollment will be limited to 40 
trainees.

*Application deadline: April 27, 2014*

The school is co-organized by Drs Gunnar Blohm, Paul Schrater and Konrad 
Körding. It receives funding from the National Sciences and Engineering 
Research Council of Canada (NSERC) via an NSERC-CREATE training grant on 
"Computational Approaches in Neuroscience – Action, Control & 
Transformations", and from the National Science Foundation (NSF, USA).
