NEURON 2012 summer course

"The NEURON Simulation Environment" (NEURON 2012 Summer Course)
An intensive hands-on course

Starts: June 23, 2012
Ends: June 27, 2012
Location: Institute for Neural Computation (Map) University of California, San Diego

Organizers: N.T. Carnevale and M.L. Hines

In five days of intensive lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, this course will cover the principles and practice of the design, construction, and use of models in the NEURON simulation environment. It is designed primarily for those who are concerned with models of biological neurons and neural networks that are closely linked to empirical observations, e.g. experimentalists who wish to incorporate modeling in their research plans, and theoreticians who are interested in the principles of biological computation. The course will be useful and informative for registrants at all levels of experience, from those who are just beginning to those who are already quite familiar with NEURON or other simulation tools.

Registration is limited to 20, and the deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, May 18, 2012.

Note: the registration fee for San Diego "locals," who don't need the room and board package, is $500. This covers all handout materials, lunches, and coffee breaks.
