We would like to invite applications for the 8th 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 Bayesian methods, motor learning & control (also
clinical), computational approaches, sensory-motor transformations
and data neuroscience. <br>
<br>
An important focus is on doing research as opposed to just hearing
about it. Teaching modules will 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. Good
knowledge in calculus, linear algebra and Matlab is expected.
Enrollment will be limited to 40 trainees.<br>
<br>
