>From Kathy Siwicki:

I've just received the following announcement from the director of a
new Summer Program in Computational Neuroscience at Penn.  This is not
just for Penn undergrads - he is specifically inviting Swarthmore
students to apply.  Please share the URL with students in relevant
classes.  The program offers the kind of hands-on training that is
typically available only to graduate students.  I think it's a great
opportunity for students who are interested in learning how
computational and engineering approaches are applied to neuroscience.

The program will run from June 18 - July 27.
The application deadline is May 1.

Students will learn how to record from invertebrate and vertebrate
neural systems, and to develop computer simulations of the
experimental preparations.  There will be a 2-week intensive
laboratory-based course, and then a month long research rotation.
Housing is available, and students will get a stipend.  The program is
geared at both biology/psychology students who want to exposure to
computational modeling, and to engineering/physics students seeking
exposure to neuroscience.

A description of the summer program is available at:
www.neuroengineering.upenn.edu/finkel/ComputationalNeuroscienceSummerProgram2007.htm

I would be delighted to talk and provide more details to any
interested students.

Students can send their applications to me directly, or I'd be happy
to contact them personally.

Yours,
