Hello, everyone, I thought I would pass along the following announcement and opportunity.
Dear Friend of the Penn Center for Neuroscience & Society,
There is just one week left to apply to this summer’s Neuroscience Boot Camp, July 30th – August 8th. Neuroscience is increasingly relevant to a number of professions and academic disciplines beyond its traditional medical applications. Through a combination of lectures, break-out groups, panel discussions and laboratory visits at Neuroscience Boot Camp, our participants will gain an understanding of the methods of neuroscience and key findings on the cognitive and social-emotional functions of the brain, lifespan development and disorders of brain function.
Complete applications are due by midnight on Friday, February 3rd, 2012.

According to their website, “[t]he intensive summer institute cov[ers] basic neuroscience [and] is geared towards… students in law, ethics, education, business, and other fields.”
Hello. My name is Dr. Evangelia Chrysikou. I am an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Kansas. In my research, I use cognitive neuroscience methods (like functional magnetic resonance imaging) to take pictures of the brain in action, specifically of how how people learn and remember information about everyday objects.
