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 [...]

Our Computational Neuroscience graduate alum, Jeremiah Wander, will be returning to UW this Thursday to join a Biosciences Careers panel discussing careers in technology. After graduating from Bioengineering with a thesis under the supervision of Rajesh Rao, Miah joined Desney Tan at Microsoft Research. Desney has been a long-time affiliate of the CSNE and of computational neuroscience at UW and Miah is working on projects in robotics.  In the Thursday careers panel, Miah [...]

Rajesh Rao will be speaking about the CSNE's advances in brain-computer interfaces this Wednesday night at Kane Hall.

Thinking of applying for PhD studies in Computational Neuroscience and Neural Engineering at UW? The University of Washington has a rich, active and highly collaborative community of researchers in the field of computational neuroscience and neural engineering. The University of Washington is a vibrant research university with a beautiful campus in a spectacular urban setting, with an ERC Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering, the UW Institute for Neuroengineering, close connections to the local [...]

Lars Crawford, graduate of the Neurobiology/Computational Neuroscience program's class of 2014, was recently accepted into the Technology Commercialization Fellowship Program at the University of Washington’s Center for Commercialization for his work on a virtual home rehabilitation system called vHAB. A kinematic hand sensor and custom EMG sleeve controls a set of dynamic games that emulate traditional upper extremity therapy tasks and is designed to keep patients motivated in their home rehabilitation while collecting [...]
