NDA 2013 - 5th G-Node Winter Course in Neural Data Analysis

The G-Node Winter Course in Neural Data Analysis is held on a yearly basis. This 5th course will give hands-on experience with neural data analysis for PhD students and young postdocs. Participants with either theoretical or experimental background are equally invited. Participants may have a theoretical background with interest in analyzing biological (or simulated) data, or they may come from an experimental background, interested in new ways of analyzing their data.
Participants must have ample programming skills in Matlab. Most analysis tools have to be programmed by the individual participant, under the guidance of tutors. Participants should show interest in model-driven analyses and be open to theoretical approaches to data analysis. Likewise, they should be interested in the practical analysis of real biological data.
Credits (2 ECTS) are granted to PhD students where applicable. Acceptance of credits is subject to the rules of the respective graduate program.
Number of participants : 16
There will be a non-refundable participation fee of 50 Euros, payable immediately after notification of acceptance.
