The Simons Collaboration on the Global Brain hosts a Global group meeting to bring together postdocs and PhD students interested in neural coding and dynamics to discuss ideas and data. This quarter's speaker is:
Kayvon Daie
Research Associate, Svoboda Laboratory
HHMI's Janelia Research Campus
Dissection of the neural circuitry underlying short-term memory
- SCGB
This course introduces students to the computational and mathematical techniques that are used to address how the brain solves these problems at levels of neural organization ranging from single membrane channels to operations of the entire brain. The course is appropriate for graduate students, postdocs and faculty in a variety of fields, from zoology, ethology, and neurobiology, to physics, engineering, and mathematics. Students are expected to have a strong background in one discipline, and to have made some effort to introduce themselves to a complementary discipline.
