Computational Neuroscience Journal Club

meeting Schedule: Spring 2010

Meetings are held from 2:30PM - 3:30PM on alternate Tuesdays, in Meyer Building room 815.

The JC focuses on theoretical/computational papers addressing topics either at the neuronal, circuit or systems level. Everybody attending is invited to present articles which should be chosen based on impact, novelty and originality of the work. Of course, choices can be guided by your personal interests.

The purpose of the Journal Club is to create interesting scientific discussions, and to hone our paper-reading, presentation, and discussion skills. In particular, that means everyone who attends should have read the paper. The presenter of the article should prepare a talk (30-40 min to give enough time for discussions), including some background and introduction to the overall topic.
