Understanding how the brain computes
Washington University in St Louis is home to a vibrant community of researchers addressing a wide range of issues in Computational Neuroscience. As befitting the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field, these researchers are spread over a wide range of departments on both the Medical School and Danforth campuses. We hold regular seminars to discuss recent advances in the field, usually on Tuesdays at 4pm.
See the new Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at Washu!
For PhD students Washington University in St Louis also offers a training pathway in Cognitive, Computational and Systems Neuroscience (CCSN)
Some related graduate programs include Neuroscience, Psychological and Brain Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Systems Science and Mathematics, Computational and Data Sciences, Computational and Systems Biology, Imaging Science, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics.
