In Neural Metrics 2.0 we will build on the = success from the previous year, focussing on methods for understanding = brain networks such as connectomics as well as large scale and Bayesian = methods, with world class speakers, hands-on tutorials, student projects = and an interactive debate. The topics covered range from cellular = connectomics to human functional connectomics. The course is designed for PhD students and starting postdoctoral = researchers working at the interface between cognitive neuroscience and = the application of advanced methods.
