Summer School in Computational
Sensory-Motor Neuroscience (CoSMo 2011)
This new summer school will focus on multidisciplinary approaches to
computational sensory-motor neuroscience. Lectures will be complemented
by hands-on Matlab simulation tutorials.
Organiser: Dr. Gunnar Blohm
Dates: August 7-21, 2011
Location: Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
NSCI 401:
Introduction to Modelling in Neuroscience
This course provides an introduction to the main modelling
approaches and theoretical concepts in Neuroscience. We discuss
the computational anatomy of the brain and how it implements
perception, learning, memory, decision making and motor control, among
other topics.
Lectures and seminar. Offered in Fall Term.
Prerequisite: STAT 263* or equivalent and standing in the fourth year
BSCH LISC degree; or permission of course director. ANAT 312*, or NSCI
323* or NSCI 324*, or PSYC 271*, or equivalent highly recommended
NSCI 800: Guest lecture on
multi-sensory integration
NSCI 850:
Computational
Approaches to
Neuroscience
This course provides an overview and hands on experience of the
most important computational approaches in Neuroscience. The main
topics covered include single cell and neural network modelling,
Bayesian approaches, State Space modelling and Optimal Control Theory.
More specific modelling approaches are also discussed as well as
some widely used computational data analysis methods.
Lectures and seminar. Offered in Winter Term.
Prerequisite: permission of course coordinator.
