The CSNE is pleased to announce a "massively open" online course (MOOC) on Computational Neuroscience by CSNE members Adrienne Fairhall and Rajesh Rao: https://www.coursera.org/#course/compneuro

Enrollment is free and open to everyone!

The fourth Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School will take place in Beijing, China from July 6 to July 24, 2013.  The summer school is co-organized by Xiao-Jing Wang (NYU), Si Wu (Beijing Normal), Zach Mainen (CNP) and Upi Bhalla (NCBS) and sponsored by Beijing Normal University, NYU Shanghai, Hugo Shong and the McGovern Institute, Peking University, Tsinghua University and Cold Spring Harbor Asia.

Applications to attend the 2013 summer course in "Mining and modeling of neuroscience data" to be held July 15-26, 2013 at UC Berkeley are now available.

A short description of the course is below; a full description is available at: http://crcns.org/course

Organizers: Fritz Sommer, Jeff Teeters;  Application deadline is April 10, 2013.

CSNE members Drs. Raj Rao and Adrienne Fairhall will teach "Computational Neuroscience" through a 10-week class using Coursera.  The class will introduce concepts about how computational methods are used to understand the function of the nervous system.  For more information about the class (e.g., syllabus, course format, recommended reading) and online registration, visit https://www.coursera.org/#course/compneuro.

A new course at the University of Washington will be offered by CSNE member, Dr. Joshua Smith.  The course (CSE 599 J) is titled "Personal Robotics Clinic: Algorithms & Applications."

Instructor: Joshua Smith

Credits: 3

Meeting place: CSE 503.  Time: WF 10:30-11:50

A new course titled Introduction to Brain Computer Interfacing (CSE 599E, SLN 12585) will be offered at the University of Washington.

OPEN TO: Grad students from all colleges and advanced undergraduates with permission of instructor.

TIME:  Spring quarter, Tue-Thu 10:30-11:50 am

The Neuroinformatics School at Woods Hole, MA, is a 2-week course about methods to manage and analyze data sets from neurophysiological and behavioral measurements, particularly large data volumes that require systematic statistical and computational approaches.  The deadline to apply to the school is May 11, 2012.  Visit the course web site for more information about this program.

"Quantitative Methods in Neuroscience," a course taught by CSNE faculty members Fred Rieke, Adrienne Fairhall and Michael Shadlen, will be offered during the Winter Quarter at the University of Washington, on Tuesdays and Thursdays,  12:30-2:20 pm in HSB G317.  This course reviews mathematical concepts in the context of their deployment in neuroscience to make revolutionary progress. The course conveys these concepts through lectures, Matlab tutorials and student presentations of classic neuroscience papers. 

Dr. Adrian KC Lee, assistant professor in the UW Department of Speech & Hearing Sciences and CSNE faculty member, will teach a new course to introduce students to magnetoencephalography (MEG) during the winter quarter.

University of Washington Department of Biology and CSNE faculty member Dr. Michael Dickinson will team with Dr. David Perkel to teach a new undergraduate course in neuroscience for non-majors.  Details of this new four-credit introductory neuroscience course are described in the November 1, 2011, issue of The Daily.
