Lecture topics include neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of cortex, neuronal cell types and cortical layers, connectomics, optical and electrophysiological methods for measuring cell populations, theories and modeling of neocortex and associated structures, big data approaches, and perceptual and behavioral neuroscience, with a focus on vision.Īll tutorials and provided software packages use the Python programming language. Throughout the course, students attend lectures by Allen Institute for Brain Science staff and additional visiting instructors.


The workshop is geared towards graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in neuroscience, biology, physics, engineering, and computer science as well as other early-career researchers at the equivalent level. Buice, Saskia de Vries, Adrienne Fairhall, Shawn Olsen, and Eric Shea-Brown.

This program is intended for researchers at the graduate and postdoctoral level with an interest in developing the intersection of their scientific knowledge and their computational skills.įounded by Adrienne Fairhall and Christof Koch, the Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain is co-hosted by the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Computational Neuroscience Center at the University of Washington with additional support from the Simons Foundation's Collaboration for the Global Brain. The Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain is an intensive, project-based residential course with a focus on the neurobiology of sensory processing, coding, and neural population dynamics.
