/*
August 7-21, 2011*/
We are pleased to announce the first annual Computational Sensory-Motor
Neuroscience Summer School at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario,
Canada from the 7th to the 21st of August, 2011. The course focuses on
multidisciplinary approaches to computational sensory-motor neuroscience
through combined empirical-theoretical teaching modules. Teaching
modules will link theory, experimental findings and clinical
observations in areas such as decision making, limb motor control,
eye-head coordination, sensory processing, attention and learning. Each
teaching module will span two days with morning sessions involving
lectures and afternoon sessions involving hands-on Matlab programming
and simulation sessions. _Guest lecturers and themes are_:
J. Tsotsos (York U, Toronto) and L. Itti (USC, Los Angeles) -- Attention
H. Galiana (McGill U, Montreal) and J. van Opstal (U Nijmegen,
Netherlands) -- Eye-head coordination
C. Pack (McGill U, Montreal) and M. Lappe (U Muenster, Germany) --
Visual processing and motion
K. Koerding (Northwestern, Chicago) and P. Cisek (U Montreal) --
Uncertainty and choice
T. Trappenberg (Dalhousie, Halifax) and D. Tweed (U Toronto) -- Learning
S. Scott (Queen's U, Kingston) and G. Blohm (Queen's U, Kingston) --
Sensory-motor control of reaching
R. Comeau (Rogue Research Inc., Montreal -- The computational
Neuroscience job market)
The course is aimed at graduate and post-doctoral students from all
different backgrounds including Life Sciences, Psychology, Computer
Science, Mathematics and Engineering. There are no formal prerequisites,
but basic knowledge in calculus, linear algebra and the Matlab
simulation environment is expected. Enrollment will be limited to 40
trainees.
The school is organized by Dr Gunnar Blohm, the Canadian Action and
Perception Network (CAPnet) and the Queen's University Centre for
Neuroscience Studies. It receives funding from the National Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) via an NSERC-CREATE
training grant on "Computational Approaches to Sensorimotor
Transformations for the Control of Actions", from Queen's University
Office of Research Services and from MITACS via the Centre for Applied
Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM).
