OIST Workshop ECogS 2025 Welcome to the 2025 International Conference on Embodied Cognitive Science, hosted by the Organizers: Embodied Cognitive Science Unit 10 November 2025 - 14 November 2025
Course OCNC 2025 A project-oriented course designed to teach computational neuroscience based on the STEPS, NEURON, Brian, DeepLabCut and Python software packages. Organizers: Computational Neuroscience Unit 23 June 2025 - 10 July 2025
OIST Workshop Spinal cord formation, function, and beyond This workshop explores how the spinal cord links sensation to action. Within this remarkable part of the nervous system, incoming sensory information is processed and filtered, and precise patterns of muscle activity are coordinated. Organizers: Neural Circuit Unit 11 March 2025 - 14 March 2025
