and others from the INI
RUB logo

Seminar (1 SWS): biweekly Tuesdays 16:15-17:45 Uhr (first seminar 5.5.) in the INI seminar soom ND 03/89,92.


The goal of this seminar is to bring together experimentalists of the neurosciences and related disciplines to discuss problems of model-based data analysis and learn some basic and maybe also some more advanced mathematical methods. The seminar will probably contain the following elements:

The concrete content and format will depend on and be tailored to the participants.

This seminar is an experiment. Its success depends heavily on the active involvement of the participants and there is a lot of room to shape it such that it is of maximal use to them.


BTW: There are a lot of courses available specifically on statistics, which will not be the main focus of this seminar, e.g.

If you do not speak German, maybe they are willing to give the courses in English.
