We invite
We invite advanced master students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers to participate in the BNNI 2017 to be held at the Advanced Pharmaceutical and Health Technologies Centre, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kaunas, Lithuania.
The Course
The course is interdisciplinary and covers modeling at different levels of organization of the brain, focusing on neurological and psychiatric disorders. The course combines lectures, tutorials and computer exercises. This summer school is the fifth in the series of the Baltic-Nordic Courses on Neuroinformatics (BNNI 2013 in Kaunas, Lithuania; BNNI 2014 in Tampere, Finland; BNNI 2015 in Tartu, Estonia; BNNI in Warsaw 2016, Poland).
- BNNI 2013 in Kaunas, Lithuania
- BNNI 2014 in Tampere, Finland
- BNNI 2015 in Tartu, Estonia
- BNNI in Warsaw 2016, Poland
Target audience
The target audience of the course will be advanced master students, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers in biomedical and technology sciences, from medicine, biology, psychology, to mathematics, informatics, information technology, physics, chemistry, who would like to get an introduction to neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience. Some experience with programming and quantitative reasoning as well as strong interest in computational and mathematical modeling of the brain will be desirable but not necessary to benefit from the school. Last year we had participants from 14 countries all over the world!
