In the framework of a collaboration initiative fostered by the Institute for Scientific Interchange in the field of the science of Complex Systems, ISI� is organizing and hosting a EU-INDIA-CHINA Triangular Summer School on "Aspects of Complexity in Neuroscience"
CORE SUBJECTS AND MOTIVATIONS
The goal of the one-week ISI school in computational neuroscience is to provide the opportunity for young researchers with theoretical backgrounds to learn some of the latest advances in both experimental and theoretical neuroscience. The school will be held in the Institute for Scientific Interchange, located on a top of a hill that overlooks the city of Torino. It will focus mainly on models of:
1) Visual system
2) Learning
3) Memory
The course will have two complementary parts. In the morning, there will be lectures given by distinguished international faculty.� In the afternoon, the students will have time for self-study of papers selected by the invited speakers. At the end of the day, students will present and collectively discuss the papers studied, under the supervision of the lecturers.
This school promises to be a unique setting for a truly multi polar interaction between Indian, Chinese and European students and researchers in a field at the forefront of contemporary science, with compelling implications in information technology as well as in social and behavioral sciences.
EXPECTED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS:
Total number of students: 24-30 (8-10 per region)
Total Number of lecturers: 7
Total Number of lesson hours 21
Lesson Hours per lecturer/per day: 3/4
A limited number of grants will be available for students.
FORMAT:
-- 3 hours of lesson every morning.
