NIH Summer Course on Interdisciplinary Training in Computational Neuroscience

We would like to bring to your attention a two-week NIH funded Summer Short Course for pre- and post docs, medical students, and faculty from any discipline interested in computational neuroscience. The background expected is high school level calculus and programming together with a strong interest in learning about computational/software. One of our goals is to introduce students to the process of biologically-based modeling using cellular and synaptic neurophysiology data.

The two-week NIH Summer course (19-30 June 2017) titled "Interdisciplinary Training in Computational Neuroscience" is absolutely free to the attendees, with airfare, lodging, meals,... everything paid by NIH during our 3-year award period (2016-2018). It is open to pre- and post-docs, med students and faculty from Biology, Psychology, Medicine, Engineering, Physics, Math, ...

The interdisciplinary computational neuroscience short course includes limited experimental and systems neurophysiology components. We are specially interested in attendees from biology, psychology and medicine. The background expected is high school level calculus and programming together with a strong interest in learning about computational/software. One of our goals is to introduce students to the process of biologically-based modeling using cellular and synaptic neurophysiology data.

The deadline for applications 1 February 2017.  An on-line application form and additional details can be found in the attached flyer and at the website: http://engineering.missouri.edu/neuro/outreach/nih-neuroscience-course/
