<br>
We would like to invite applications for the 7th annual
Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School. The course
is about experimental, computational and medical aspects of
sensory-motor neuroscience with a focus on active learning. Covered
topics include multi-sensory integration, motor learning &
control (also clinical), computational methods, sensory-motor
transformations and neural coding / decoding. <br>
<br>
An important focus is on doing research as opposed to just hearing
about it. Each teaching module will take up two days, combining
lectures with hands-on Matlab programming, simulation and
data-analysis. Newly acquired computational tools can also be
applied in 2-week evening group research projects.<br>
<br>
The course is aimed at graduate 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.<br>
<br>
