that depends on the research topic of course, but generally yes. Computational skill-sets are quite universal and translate well (Gunnar)

Students, staff, industry professionals, anybody! You're absolutely welcome to attend if you have the right background!

Unfortunately no, the course is a 6 hour a day commitment plus group projects & time for consolidation. The Interactive Track is designed to be "all consuming" for those 3 weeks because it's basically a PhD in a box / firehose of information.

But, if you don't have time or capacity to do the interactive track for 3 weeks straight, you can always do the materials on your own! They're freely available, forever. We are also actively looking for ways to do different types of schedules with TA-led pods, so hopefully this will be an option in the future for e.g. nights/weekends sometimes. We've seen community-led initiatives have success with that already, so we're seeing if there are ways to support those communities too.

We try to make the comp neuro course accessible for everyone, so you should consider trying it. We have some preparatory materials to give you the basics of python and you should definitely take a look at those in the weeks prior to the start of the course.

When the course is over, you can go back and re do the tutorials to help anchor the concepts. Many people find re-doing these tutorials is helpful.
