Global Brain

Europe’s largest international neuroscience conference, covering all domains in modern brain research from basic to translational research.

MCN introduces students to the computational and mathematical techniques that are used to address how the brain solves problems at levels of neural organization ranging from single membrane channels to operations of the entire brain. This course is appropriate for graduate students, postdocs and faculty in a variety of fields, from zoology, ethology, and neurobiology, to physics, engineering, and mathematics. Students are expected to have a strong background in one discipline, and to have made some effort to introduce themselves to a complementary discipline. Deadline: March 30, 2022

isiCNI is an opportunity for African and international students to learn about cutting edge research techniques in computational neuroscience. The format of the school will be a combination of intensive lectures on advanced topics in computational and theoretical neuroscience as well as practical exercises in simulation and data analysis. In addition, students will perform a mini-research project under the supervision of one of the school tutors, to be presented at the end of the school. Deadline Feb 4, 2022.

An intensive, project-based residential course with a focus on the neurobiology of sensory processing, coding, and neural population dynamics. This program is intended for researchers at the graduate and postdoctoral level with an interest in developing the intersection of their scientific knowledge and their computational skills. Applications due February 1, 2022.

The Ascona 2022 Neuronal Circuits Meeting will present work on how specific neuronal circuits encode information and drive behavior, on how brain systems interact to produce specific functions, on the developmental and genetic basis of circuit function, on circuit function in social behaviors, on the function of neuromodulatory systems in animal behavior, and on how circuit adjustments and brain states influence learning and behavior. Application deadline: April 30th, 2022

Each year, scientists from around the world congregate to discover new ideas, share their research, and experience the best the field has to offer. Attend so you can: present research, network with scientists, attend sessions and events, and browse the exhibit hall. Proposal submission is open through January 25. Abstract submission will open on Wednesday, June 1 and will close on Wednesday, June 15 at 5 p.m. EDT.
