THE NEURON SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT

An intensive hands-on course

1998 Session		Starts at 9 AM Saturday, August 1 Ends at 5 PM Wednesday, August 5
Location		San Diego Supercomputer Center
Organizers		N.T. Carnevale and M.L. Hines
Faculty		includes N.T. Carnevale, M.L. Hines, W.W. Lytton, and T.J. Sejnowski
Registration deadline		July 1, 1998

In five days of intensive lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, this course will cover the principles and practice of the design, construction, and use of models in the NEURON simulation environment. This course is designed for experimentalists who wish to incorporate empirically-based modeling in their research plans. It will be of interest to three broad classes of participants.

1. Those who have little or no modeling experience will learn not only the technical aspects of modeling but also its philosophical basis and scientific rationale.
2. Intermediate users will learn how best to approach common tasks, and under what circumstances special components of NEURON's rich feature set might be particularly helpful.
3. Experienced users will benefit from an update on new features and a review of important topics that may have escaped their attention when they first learned how to use NEURON.

Registration is limited to 20 individuals on a first-come, first-serve basis. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, July 1.
