Summer school of 'ITI NeuroStra' program

Advanced tools for data analysis in Neuroscience

31 août 9 septembre 2023
Strasbourg, France

Research discoveries are increasingly dependent on the development of new tools and technologies, as well as on the ability to process, manage and analyze the large amounts of data collected with these tools.

In this summer school, we will focus on several aspects of data preparation and analysis, as well as on the use of simulation and modeling tools capable of generating predictions. These tools will be applied to different data acquisition techniques such as electrophysiological recordings (e.g. EEG, intra or extracellular recordings) or image series from brain imaging (e.g. MRI).

There is no registration fee.

 

Target audience:

Master and PhD students from the University of Strasbourg and other French and foreign universities are welcome to apply.

Priority will be given to students enrolled in a basic or medical neuroscience program, but students from other specialties will be able to participate as long as places are available.

Students are encouraged to come with their own dataset.

During the school (Sep. 4-9th), accomodation and lunches (but not travel) will be offered to non-Strasbourg students.

 

Note: Pre-school: Introduction to Python programming (Only for beginners)

 

FENS and IBRO-PERC provide 5 stipends of 750 EUR for Master and/or PhD students based in Europe interested in attending this course.Through these stipends FENS and IBRO-PERC aim to encourage and promote international experience of students; hence, students that are currently residing or studying in France are not eligible for a FENS and IBRO-PERC stipend for this course.
