The University of Rochester will host a Summer Workshop for Undergraduates
on July 17-20, 1997. The Workshop will consist of lectures and laboratory
demonstrations by the Rochester faculty studying the neural basis of
behavior. The focus will be on brain mechanisms of perception and movement,
as well as on how behaviors are established during development and modified
by experience. These issues will be approached from neural, behavioral, and
computational perspectives. Fellowships covering travel and living expenses
will be provided for 20 students. Preference will be given to Juniors who
plan to pursue advanced study in the behavioral and neural sciences.
