[visionlist] CoSMo summer school - deadline Apr 15 & final program

[Gunnar Blohm]

*Second Annual Computational Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School 
(CoSMo 2012)*
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA
August 5-19, 2012

*Application deadline: April 15, 2012*

We want to invite you to join us for the second annual Computational 
Sensory-Motor Neuroscience Summer School. The course is about 
experimental, computational and medical aspects of movement science with 
a focus on data/model sharing. Covered topics include motor control, 
brain-machine interfaces, cue combination, sensory-motor 
transformations, computational neuroimaging and learning. */Check out 
the finalized program: http://www.compneurosci.com/CoSMo2012/ /*

An important focus is on doing research as opposed to just hearing about 
it. Each teaching module will take up two days with morning sessions 
involving lectures. Afternoon sessions involve hands-on Matlab 
programming, simulation and data-analysis sessions.

The course is aimed at student and post-doctoral fellows from diverse 
backgrounds including Life Sciences, Psychology, Computer Science, 
Mathematics and Engineering. Basic knowledge in calculus, linear algebra 
and Matlab is expected. Enrollment will be limited to 40 trainees.

The school is co-organized by Drs Gunnar Blohm and Konrad Körding, with 
contributions from the Canadian Action and Perception Network (CAPnet), 
the Queen's University Centre for Neuroscience Studies (Kingston, ON, 
Canada) and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (USA). It receives 
funding from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of 
Canada (NSERC) via an NSERC-CREATE training grant on "Computational 
Approaches to Sensorimotor Transformations for the Control of Actions", 
from and from the National Science Foundation (NSF, USA).
