This school is held for graduate students and researchers with various backgrounds who wish to study computational neuroscience with the emphasis on recent experimental and theoretical studies of neural dynamics in the brain. The course is organized as a series of lectures from the fundamental to the cutting-edge of theoretical and experimental topics, complemented by participants' short presentations. We aim to promote informal interactions between all participants hopefully will lead to new professional relationships lasting beyond the school.
