INCF Indian Node Workshop (Nov 1)
followed by INCF Introductory workshop on
Neuroinformatics (Nov 2-3) in New Delhi
==============================
ALL selected candidates are already informed by email on
18/09/11
=======================================
There will be a half-day meeting of the India node of the INCF on Nov 1. This will be followed
by a two-day INCF Introductory Workshop on Neuroinformatics, on November 2-3.
The topics of the Introductory Workshop on Neuroinformatics include lectures on:
(i) Neuroinformatics and Systems Biology relating to Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience
(ii) Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience (e.g. electrophysiology/neurophysiology)
(iii) Neuromaging and Clinical Neuroscience (including computational neuroscience).
These will be followed by a day of lectures, tutorials and demonstrations on Neuroinformatics
and Modelling.
The detailed schedule is below.
Travel support is available for selected participants among PhD students, post-docs, and younger
faculty from India and international institutions. Please contact the organizers before 30
September 2011 should you be interested in travel support. The travel support covers local
hospitality (lodging and food), and air and rail ticket costs may be covered in full or in part
depending on funding. Participants are encouraged to utilize their own grant support for ticket
costs. International participants are strongly urged to contact the organizers quickly to expedite
visa processing.
