Hands-on Course on MINDLAB: Manipulating and Investigating Neural Dynamics for Learning and Ageing in the Brain, 12-15 November 2024, Castelldefels/Barcelona, Spain

The HANDS-ON COURSE on MINDLAB  will take place at  ICFO from November 12 to 15, 2024. 

In collaboration with the Laserlab-Europe project, ICFO is offereing a training school to introduce cutting edge technologies to study neuroscience at the molecular, cellular and systems level to students in a combination of lectures and hands-on experience leading to group projects.

This 4-day course is aimed at students and researchers who are interested in learning about state-of-the-art photonics-based technologies designed to monitor various scales in the study of the brain. 

The course program includes a combination of lectures and lab sessions. Additionally, social and networking activities are planned to enhance participant engagement.
