The target audience<\/b><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of the course will be advanced master students, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers in biomedical and technology sciences, from medicine, biology, psychology, to mathematics, informatics, information technology, physics, chemistry, who would like to get an introduction to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>neuroinformatics<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and computational neuroscience. Some experience with programming and quantitative reasoning as well as strong interest in computational and mathematical modeling of the brain will be desirable but not necessary to benefit from the school.
