Computational Neurosciences

The planned Computational Neurosciences summer research program will recruit undergraduates from the disciplines of engineering and biological sciences and will provide interdisciplinary research experience in neuroscience with focus primarily on computational aspects, i.e., computational neuroscience. The faculty mentors are from the Colleges of Engineering, Arts & Science, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine. Computational neuroscience provides tools to abstract and generalize principles of brain function using mathematics, with applicability to the entire neuroscience spectrum including molecular, cellular, systems, and behavior levels.

If you are interested in this program, please check our Web site for updated information after February 5, 2008. Applications will be due around March 1, 2008. You may also contact Chrystal Graves at GravesC@missouri.edu to be put on a mailing list to receive information once we have learned about our level of grant funding for this program.
