Tutorial Series in Computational Topics related to Brain and Cognitive Sciences

Emily Mackevicius

Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: Geared towards BCS grad students & postdocs, others welcome

Each tutorial will consist of a short lecture, and then 'office hours' time to work through practice problems and discuss problems people want help with in their own research. The goal is to get people past the initial learning curve in particular computational topics relevant to BCS, and get people from across the department talking about common computational methods. Food will be provided.

Please sign up for tutorials here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11yK-Xqc_1UU29qWAuQLqZjtMXyidLohxGVUIO9MjUjQ/viewform

Materials will be posted here (Currently this site has material for previous BCS computational tutorials.  If you sign up, I'll email you when current materials are posted.): https://stellar.mit.edu/S/project/bcs-comp-tut/index.html
