UW Comp Neuro PhD student Ali Weber lectures on Looking Inside the Eye at the historic Town Hall, downtown Seattle.   6 PM, Monday April 3.  See you there!

Rob Kass visits UW in April with two talks:  April 5 (UW Comp Neuro:  12:30 PM, HSB G328) and April 6 (UW Biostats:  3:30-5, T-639)!

UW graduate students from any degree program who are pursuing projects in computational neuroscience are invited to apply to join the Graduate Certificate Program in Neural Computation and Engineering.  This program has a few coursework and other requirements and will provide students with annotation on their degree as well as mentoring and access to social and other events.  

A new method to segment brain regions by their connectivity.. examining how particular cell types participate in the cortical "chorale".. new open-source tools to help visualize how brain regions are connected.. a data-driven model to capture how information is transformed between layers in visual cortex: these are a sampling of some of the student team projects presented on the final day of the 2016 Workshop on the Dynamic Brain. Held at UW’s beautiful [...]

In the last week of September, UW hosted the 2015 meeting of the recipients of NSF Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience grants. These awards support theorists working with experimentalists to develop and test theories of brain function.  Talks covered topics as diverse as models of sequence learning in hippocampus, network instantiations of neural integrators and deciphering whole-brain representations of natural speech.  Plenary speakers were Anne Churchland, from Cold Spring Harbor Labs, describing her [...]
