Can you provide me the detail of the CAMP @ Bangalore - Summer School 2018 conducted by NCBS (National Centre for Biological Sciences), Bangalore?

CAMP @ Bangalore (Computational Approaches to Memory and Plasticity) was 16-day summer school on the theory and simulation of learning, memory and plasticity in the brain.


PhD students and post-docs from theoretical and/or experimental backgrounds (physics, math, neuroscience, engineering, etc.) were invited to apply.

Familiarity with programming, dynamical systems, and/or computational neuroscience was desirable, but not necessary.

It also selected a small number of exceptional undergraduate and Master level students for the course, as they had sufficient background via courses and especially via project / hobby work related to these areas (written in statement of interest & CV).

The course was started with remedial tutorials on neuroscience / math / programming and then work upwards from sub-cellular electrical and chemical signalling in neurons, onward to micro-circuits and networks, all with an emphasis on learning, memory and plasticity.

It had two 1 hour 30 min lectures in the mornings, hands-on tutorials in the afternoon/ evenings, and also research lectures/discussions/project work in the evenings.

Students worked on small projects and present it during the school. Projects were self-chosen or from those suggested by the lecturers.
