CAMP @ Bangalore (Computational Approaches to Memory and Plasticity at NCBS, Bangalore) is a 16-day summer school on the theory and simulation of learning, memory and plasticity in the brain. PhD students and post-docs from theoretical and/or experimental backgrounds (physics, math, neuroscience, engineering, etc.) are invited to apply. Familiarity with programming, dynamical systems, and/or computational neuroscience is desirable, but not necessary. We may also select a small number of exceptional undergraduate and Masters level students for the course, if they have sufficient background via courses and especially via project / hobby work related to these areas (write in your statement of interest & CV). The course will start with remedial tutorials on neuroscience / math / programming and then work upwards from sub-cellular electrical and chemical signaling in neurons, onward to micro-circuits and networks, all with an emphasis on learning, memory and plasticity.
The course will consist of lectures, tutorials and project work. Students will work on small projects and present it during the school. Projects may be self-chosen or from those suggested by the lecturers. CAMP is an intensive course and will require full-time participation from the selected candidates.
CAMP is committed to a wholesome and safe working and learning environment and does not tolerate any discrimination or harassment. Any misconduct will lead to automatic removal of the student from the course.
