EITN EBRAINS Fall School in Computational Neuroscience

10-day course in theoretical and computational neuroscience.

The EITN Fall School in Computational Neuroscience consists of a 10-day course in theoretical and computational neuroscience, from cellular to whole-brain levels. The course is structured in thematic days with lectures, tutorials, and project work.

The course is typically aimed for PhD students, young postdocs, or master students interested to learn more about techniques of computational neuroscience, and the use of various simulation environments for model building. The students will form thematic groups to work on predefined subjects, with the help of tutors.

The course will cover cellular models, models of brain signals, circuit models and networks, mean-field models, and whole-brain models. There will be lectures and tutorials associated with these topics.

Organizers:

Damien Depannemaecker (AMU), Alain Destexhe (CNRS), Viktor Jirsa (AMU)

How to apply?

This training has a limited capacity of 28 students, therefore a selection will be performed by a scientific organizing committee. Applications are open until 07 July 2024.

Please send your application by email to eitnfs2024@protonmail.ch.

The application should consist of a one-page CV, a motivation letter to explain why you would like to attend this course, and a recommendation letter.

You will receive a confirmation your application has been received within 5 working days (or on the day the application period closes (whichever comes the soonest). If not, please consider a technical issue and submit your application again.

Selection criteria include:

Working or studying in neuroscience or related
Experience in Python programming would help
Priority is given to Ph.D. students as the primary target of this training, although Master students and post-docs are welcome to apply as well

Practical information:

If selected, the registration will be done in July, fees will not exceed 400€, and waivers will be available. If selected, you will need to bring your own laptop with a few pre-installed programs.
