1) INCF Autumn School on Methods in Neuroinformatics in Pilsen
+++ the day before INCF Congress2009 +++

The School is a three-session hands-on course for graduate students.
Rather than giving a broad overview of neuroinformatics, the course
will introduce the participants to key methodologies of the field
and give them the opportunity to experiment with different approaches
to tangle the same question. Each session will start with a lecture
and will be followed by computerized hands-on exercises. The three
sessions vary from imaging, image data analysis and models based on
the analysis, i.e., from imaging to models.

Target group:
Neuroscience graduate students and postdocs who need to strengthen
their knowledge on the related subjects.

* Date : September 4-5, 2009
* Venue: University of Western Bohemia (Pilsen, Czech Republic)

Deadline: open until July 31st
