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.

I think that taking NMA-CN is the best way for you to get started with comp neuro! This is how many participants change fields / expand their expertise.
