Theoretical and COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE Seminar

The Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience Seminar at Univeristy of Texas, Houston Medical School meets every Thursday, 4:15pm, in the seventh floor conference room 7.046. We present and discuss recent developments in computational neuroscience, attempting a thorough understanding of the material as well as a wide view of the current literature.

Would you like to join? Please see our schedule and show up to our next meeting.
