Dear students and postdocs,
I would like to invite you to apply to the Cajal Summer Course in Computational Neuroscience, which takes place in August in Lisbon, which I am co-directing again this year. This is an amazing class which gives the students a head start in the field. If you're interested in applying, I would also be happy to answer any questions you might have. Date, Location and Application:09 August - 29 August 2020Champalimaud Center for the Unknown, PortugalApply here: www.fens.org/Training/CAJAL-programme/CAJAL-courses-2020/CN-2020/Application-form---CCN-2020/Application deadline: 16 March 2020Stipends are available.

About the CAJAL course in Computational Neuroscience:Computational Neuroscience is a rapidly evolving field whose methods and techniques are critical for understanding and modelling the brain and also for designing and interpreting experiments. This course teaches the central ideas, methods and practices of modern computational neuroscience. Lectures cover topics across the entire breadth of experimental and computational neuroscience. Hands-on research projects include the modelling of neurons, neural systems and behaviour, the analysis of state-of-the-art neural data (behavioural data, multi- electrode recordings, calcium imaging data, connectomics data, etc.) and the development of theories to explain experimental observations.
