In conjunction with the Mind and Brain theme, the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics would like to announce a one-day workshop, to be held on the 30th May, with a computational neuroethology theme.

Computational neuroscience and neuroethology are Sussex strengths, with cutting-edge research across 4 schools, we hope the workshop, and associated social events, will be a great chance to emphasise this strength and bring people, with shared interests, together from across campus and beyond. The day will feature talks from external and internal speakers and cover a broad range of computational neuroscience and computational neuroethology. The schedule has been designed to reflect the inclusive nature of CCNR research over its 15 year history.

The workshop is open to Sussex and non-Sussex people and is free of charge, though registration is essential for catering reasons. Please email Dr Paul Graham <p.r.graham@sussex.ac.uk> to register. People are encouraged to bring posters, though space may be limited, so when your register please let Paul know. 

Information about travel to Sussex and local accomodation can be found here.
