Training course announcement (1st call)

(Apologies for duplicate postings)

Dear Colleague,

We  invite you to apply for the

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2012 INCF training course on Advanced Statistical Modeling of Neuronal Data
(July 22-28, 2012)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This course will take place in Osnabrueck, Germany, and will be hosted
by the Institute of Cognitive Science (University of Osnabrueck).

Details can be found at: http://www.incf.ni.uos.de/

Applications will be accepted until May 15, 2012. Those accepted will
be notified by May 31st at which point a registration fee of 200 €
will be required. This fee covers attendance of the training course,
coffee breaks, two dinners and team-building events. Accommodation
costs are not included.

The goal of the course is for attendees to gain a working knowledge of
statistical techniques that have proven useful for neuroscientific
data analysis.  Broadly speaking, the course is composed of 5 main
themes, one for each day: Statistical Analysis Basics, Encoding
Models, Decoding Models, Neuronal Population Models and Large-Scale
Imaging Models. As the emphasis is on practical applications, each
analysis technique will first  be motivated by introducing its usage
with showcase applications from different neuroscientific fields. This
will give participants without experience in a given field an
understanding of what one wants to achieve with an analysis technique.
After having established this common ground of applications, the
methods themselves will be presented in lecture format. Students will
then, in Matlab laboratory sessions, learn to apply the methods to
real neuroscientific data sets. A detailed syllabus may be found on
the course website.
