Dear colleagues, the deadline for this school is coming soon. <br>Please, accept our apologies for cross-posting.<br><br>Original announcement:<br><br>Dear colleagues,<br><br>We are pleased to announce that <span class="nfakPe">PENS</span> Neuroscience <span class="nfakPe">school</span><br>
"Models in Neuroscience: turning experiments into knowledge"<br>will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia from April, 27 to May, 5 2008.<br>The <span class="nfakPe">school</span> will emphasize the role of modeling as a knowledge <br>
structuring tool.The lectures will describe the use of mathematical<br>model-based approaches to infer knowledge from the experimental<br>data and statistical models used for establishing significance of findings.<br>An additional goal of the <span class="nfakPe">school</span> is to bridge the gap between future cellular<br>
and cognitive neuroscientists and to attract the students majoring in physics<br>and math to the field of computational neuroscience.<br><br>We welcome applications from graduate students and young post-docs<br>with interest in all fields of neuroscience as well as students with physics/math <br>
major. A total of 30 students will be accepted. Meals and accommodation are <br>covered for all accepted students, limited number of travel awards is available.<br><br>Application deadline, February, 15, 2008.<br><br>Registration fee: 100 Euro (fee can be waived for students with<br>
advanced records)<br><br>Cellular neuroscience: biophysics of ionic channels, synaptic and<br>circumneuronal signal transmission, synaptic plasticity,<br> techniques of imaging and electrophysiology<br>
Cognitive neuroscience: memory, attention, language, brain imaging ,<br>multi-modal integration in cognitive data analysis,<br> event-related potentials and fields<br>Computational neuroscience: single-neuron and neural population<br>
modeling, dynamic causal modeling (DCM),<br> non-parametric statistical analysis of EEG/MEG data<br><br>For more information, please, visit <a href="http://www.neuroscience.spb.ru/school" target="_blank">http://www.neuroscience.spb.ru/<span class="nfakPe">school</span></a>.<br>
