I am pleased to share information about the University of Pennsylvania's Fourth Annual Neuroscience Boot Camp. I participated in the program during its first summer, and it was fantastic. Even if you know a good bit of neuroscience, chances are that you don't have the breadth of neuroscience that is covered at boot camp, and you will surely benefit, as I did, from getting to know the other participants.
This summer's boot camp begins July 30 and ends August 8. See the website for more information; here's a sample:
Through a combination of lectures, break-out groups, panel discussions and laboratory visits, participants will gain an understanding of the methods of neuroscience and key findings on the cognitive and social-emotional functions of the brain, lifespan development and disorders of brain function.
Each lecture will be followed by extensive Q&A. Break-out groups will allow participants to delve more deeply into topics of relevance to their fields. Laboratory visits will include trips to an MRI scanner, an EEG/ERP lab, and a transcranial magnetic stimulation lab. Participants will also have access to an extensive online library of copyrighted materials, including classic and review articles and textbook chapters in cognitive and affective neuroscience.
