Neuroinformatics Summer School, 2003
Computations in Local Neural Circuits

August 2nd - 6th, 2003
International Institute for Advanced Studies
Keihanna Science City, Kyoto, Japan


This five-day course, sponsored by the Japanese Neural Network Society , aims to bring together graduate students and leading researchers who are interested in the study of information processing in the brain. It provides opportunities for theoreticians to learn recent experimental findings and to work on real data, and for experimentalists to be acquainted with theoretical frameworks and to have hands-on experience with latest computational techniques. (note: most lectures are given in Japanese.)
