Workshop on CCBR at IIT-M
The first annual workshop of the Centre for Computational Brain Research (CCBR) will be held at Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) from January 4 to 8, 2016.
Hyderabad: The first annual workshop of the Centre for Computational Brain Research (CCBR) will be held at Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) from January 4 to 8, 2016. The workshop, which will be introduced by IIT-M alumnus Kris Gopalakrishnan, will have talks by the three CCBR distinguished chairs Prof Partha Mitra from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), Prof Anand Raghunathan, Purdue University USA, and Prof Mriganka Sur, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA.
According to the organisers, the goal of the workshop is two-fold: pedagogy (“neuroscience for engineers”), and outreach/community building. The academic goals will be served by a number of lectures by domain experts in basic neuroscience as well as in machine learning as one interfacial domain between neuroscience and engineering. There will be a discussion on the development of a neuroscience curriculum for engineering students at IIT-M and by extension to other IITs and engineering colleges in the country. The second goal is to build links to academia, industry and medicine.
