AMIS seminar program

AMI scientific seminar (AMISS) is a monthly lecture & discussion at the AMI centre. It is intended to be a forum where AMI users share their experiences and have possibilities to get feedback about their work before submission. AMISS may contain more didactic lectures, e.g. about methodology, but also reviews on broader topics in systems neuroscience.

AMIS seminars are at the AMI centre seminar room, Otakaari 5I, Magnet house, 3rd floor. Seminars start at 13.00, typically on the second tuesday of the month. Often the date must be shifted according to lecturers' schedules.
