Computational Neuroscience

CNS stream will be focused on the computational aspects of the field. The program will provide insight into a broad range of topics, including neuromechanics of movement control, dynamical neuron systems, neuroimaging, neuron-computer and brain-computer interfaces. The CNS stream program aims to provide participants with an introductory review of the contemporary computational neuroscience field and to give a practical introduction to the principles of analysis and simulation packages.
