In Neural Metrics 2.0 we will build on the success from the previous year, focussing on methods for understanding brain networks such as connectomics as well as large scale and Bayesian methods, with world class speakers, hands-on tutorials, student projects and an interactive debate. The topics covered range from cellular connectomics to human functional connectomics.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The course is designed for PhD students and starting postdoctoral researchers working at the interface between cognitive neuroscience and the application of advanced methods.
