https:\/\/shoutout.wix.com\/so\/2fOrVl0Sp?languageTag=en<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n At its 12th edition, TENSS is renowned worldwide for a life changing event in the career of young neuroscience researchers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are at a point where we want to encourage researchers from a wide cultural and economical background to join our event, immerse in the best international scientific environment and learn experimental techniques in neuroscience from the very best experts.\u00a0<\/p>\n June 1-19, 2024, Pike Lake, Transylvania, Romania \u2013\u00a0<\/b>https:\/\/tenss.ro\/<\/b><\/a>. We have started a worldwide initiative to train young brain researchers, from both developed and less developed countries, in understanding and using the most advanced tools in brain research today. We do this in an idyllic location, without any pre-existing infrastructure, where students and instructors alike enjoy the adventure, work hard, and build sophisticated research labs from scratch.<\/p>\n The main objective of TENSS is to provide participants top-level, hands-on training in experimental techniques used in neuroscience, from optical, electrophysiological, and behavioral methods to advanced data analysis and machine learning. The philosophy of the school is learning by doing and while doing so, openly sharing ideas and expertise.<\/p>\n This is TENSS, the Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School:<\/p>\n \u2022 ~3 weeks of 24\/7 hands-on practical and theoretical courses in building, debugging, using and interpreting data from cutting-edge experimental methods in modern neuroscience.<\/p>\n \u2022 A select group of the best 12-14 applicants: for the 2023 edition, top 14 were selected from an excellent pool of more than 100 applicants from all over the world.<\/p>\n \u2022 A wide collection of experts: ~26 instructors and 19 dedicated teaching assistants from brain research institutes in the USA, UK, Germany, France, Poland, Romania, India, Switzerland, Portugal, Hungary, and Slovakia.<\/p>\n \u2022 A knowledge base of Open-Source solutions to complex problems in brain research.<\/p>\n Coursework will take place in a land of myth and legend, beyond large forests (Transylvania), on the shores of a picturesque natural reserve called Pike Lake. Applications are welcome from interested (and interesting) graduate students and postdocs. Please note that there is a significant number of fee waivers and travel support grants available for supporting our applicants.<\/p>\n Invited lecturers (tentative):<\/p>\n Upinder Bhalla \u2013 National Centre for Biological Sciences, India Teaching assistants:<\/p>\n Aditya Asopa \u2013 National Centre for Biological Sciences, India Information about how to apply can be found here:\u00a0http:\/\/tenss.ro\/apply\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Organizers:<\/p>\n Florin Albeanu \u2013 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY, USA Support and administration:<\/p>\n Laura Rus \u2013 Transylvanian Institute of Neuroscience, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Best regards,
