Topics in Computational Neuroscience

For ideas about some interesting papers to discuss have look here TCN Paper Ideas

Overview

This journal club is aimed at graduate students from the neuroscience program, neuroscience related life sciences, as well as students from engineering, physics, and math programs with an interest in a computational approach to studying the brain. It provides a broad survey of literature from theoretical and computational neuroscience. Readings will combine both seminal works and recent theories. We meet for one session each week.

It is possible to take this seminar for credit. If you would like to do so, please mention during journal club.

If you have questions, please email the club organizer (Fall 2016) Sean Mackesey

Time and Location

(Fall 2016) 4pm-5pm every Monday in the Redwood Center conference room (560 Evans). Please sign up to the email list (below) for announcements on changes to meeting dates.

Guidelines for Presenting Papers

Each person that selects a paper should present, in about 15-30 minutes:

  • an executive summary
  • an outline of the key points, ideas, or contributions
  • relevant background information
  • a description of the key figures
  • what you took away from the paper
  • some potential questions for discussion
  • you are encouraged to use whatever method to present (slides, puppets, etc.)

E-mail List

To subscribe to the journal club email list, send an email to redwood_tcn+subscribe@lists.berkeley.edu. You will receive emails twice a week about papers that will be covered in the next meeting.
