EnglishAdditional information
This course is directed at graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from the physical sciences (e.g., physics, applied mathematics, engineering, and computer science) and the life sciences (e.g., neuroscience, biology, physiology, and human kinetics) who wish to develop their skills in neural data analysis and in mathematical modeling of neural activity. The topics will range from cellular to systems neuroscience, with a focus on sensory and motor systems.
The course will consist of 3 hours of lectures in the mornings, followed by 3-hour MATLAB-based computer laboratories in the afternoons. Participants will pair up for these laboratories, and an effort will be made to pair someone from the life sciences with someone from the physical sciences. All classes and laboratories will be held on the main downtown campus of the University of Ottawa (Biosciences Complex). The course can be taken for credit, since it is a University of Ottawa 3-credit graduate course.
Enrollment is limited to 40 participants.
