OIST Computational Neuroscience Course (OCNC 2024)

The aim of the OIST Computational Neuroscience Course is to provide opportunities for young researchers with theoretical backgrounds to learn up-to-date neurobiological findings and those with experiment backgrounds to have hands-on experience in computational modeling. Lately the latter category has dominated applications and comprises the majority the students, including many students who want to model their own data. The faculty are leading researchers in their fields.

In addition to lectures there is also an important hands-on component: students work on a modeling or data analysis project under guidance of a tutor. Compared to other similar courses around the world, we focus on student proposed projects instead of having them work on predefined topics.

Further information is available on the OCNC Website. 

OIST is deeply committed to the advancement of women in science, in Japan and worldwide. Women are strongly encouraged to apply.
