[Alex Ossadtchi]

Dear colleagues, the deadline for this school is coming soon.
Please, accept our apologies for cross-posting.

Original announcement:

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that PENS Neuroscience school
"Models in Neuroscience: turning experiments into knowledge"
will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia from April, 27 to May, 5 2008.
The school will emphasize the role of modeling as a knowledge
structuring tool.The lectures will describe the use of mathematical
model-based approaches to infer knowledge from the experimental
data and statistical models used for establishing significance of findings.
An additional goal of the school is to bridge the gap between future
cellular
and cognitive neuroscientists and to attract the students majoring in
physics
and math to the field of computational neuroscience.

We welcome applications from graduate students and young post-docs
with interest in all fields of neuroscience as well as students with
physics/math
major. A total of 30 students will be accepted. Meals and accommodation are
covered for all accepted students, limited number of travel awards is
available.

Application deadline, February, 15, 2008.

Registration fee: 100 Euro (fee can be waived for students with
advanced records)

Cellular neuroscience: biophysics of ionic channels, synaptic and
circumneuronal signal transmission, synaptic plasticity,
                        techniques of imaging and electrophysiology
Cognitive neuroscience: memory, attention, language, brain imaging ,
multi-modal integration in cognitive data analysis,
                        event-related potentials and fields
Computational neuroscience: single-neuron and neural population
modeling, dynamic causal modeling (DCM),
                        non-parametric statistical analysis of EEG/MEG data
