This summer school is for the ESRs in switchBoard, to help them do better experiments, data analysis, and science in their own work.

Monday 17 September 2018

09:30 – 09:45 Welcome

Tobi Delbruck & Gemma Taverni, Hosting Partner

09:45 – 10:45 Benjamin Grewe (Prof., Institute of Neuroinformatics)

Imaging neuronal activity in the rodent brain

10:45 – 11:00 Coffee Break

11:00 – 11:45 Clemens Boucsein, (Multi Channel Systems - Head of Hardware Development)

Pitfalls of electrophysiological measurements

11:45 – 13:00 Lunch

13:00 – 14:00 Benjamin Ehret (PhD student, Institute of Neuroinformatics)

Mini-microscopes tutorial and data

14:00 – 15:00 Valerio Mante (Prof., Institute of Neuroinformatics)

Visual information path, from the retina to the visual cortex

15:00 – 15:30 Coffee Break

15:30 – 16:30 EJ Chichilnisky (Prof., Stanford)

"The dark underbelly of deciphering retinal circuitry", or "Things I Wish I had Known", or most precisely: “Large scale MEA recordings from primate retina for deciphering visual system function”

I will describe how large-scale multi-electrode recordings give insight into the exquisite and precise functional organization of the visual system, with plenty of time to discuss the many technical issues involved in such work.
