Summer Institute in Cognitive Neuroscience

描述(由申请者提供)：22年来，认知神经科学暑期研究所聚集了认知神经科学的领军人物和有前途的研究生、博士后研究人员和年轻的教授/科学家，进行为期两周的密集讲座和实验室课程，旨在研究该学科的前沿课题。这项提案寻求为该计划的继续提供五年的资金。夏季学院专注于跟上该领域的最新进展，并让其参与者接触到最新的快速出现的方法和发现。通过讲座、辩论、研究所与会者之间的密切互动和实验室演示，使用先进的技术，如功能神经成像、经颅磁刺激和事件相关电位，参与者可以强烈和丰富地接触到广泛的技术和方法，将大脑和大脑的所有领域一分为二。夏季学院强烈的跨学科性质是其最具决定性的特点和宝贵的资产。在接下来的5年里，学院将继续其成功的传统，同时也将提供创新，以显著增强和加强该计划。认知神经科学夏季研究所通过为国家年轻科学家提供独特的培训，促进跨学科视角和合作，并通过鼓励知名科学领袖和年轻、有前途的研究人员之间的跨学科交流，为该领域提供基本服务。研究所通过提请注意和增进对与国家卫生研究院在基础和转化性研究和培训中的使命有关的当前发现前沿问题的了解，直接促进了该领域的进步。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For 22 years, the Summer Institute in Cognitive Neuroscience has brought together leaders in Cognitive Neuroscience and promising graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and young professors/scientists for an intensive, two-week lecture and laboratory course aimed at topics on the cutting-edge of the discipline. This proposal seeks five years of funding for the program's continuation. The Summer Institute focuses on staying up-to-date with the field's latest advancements and exposes its participants to the latest rapidly emerging methods and discoveries. Through a combination of lectures, debates, close interaction among Institute attendees, and laboratory demonstrations, using advanced techniques such as functional neuroimaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and event-related potentials, participants are provided with an intense and rich exposure to a broad array of techniques and approaches bisecting all fields bearing on the mind and brain. The intensely interdisciplinary nature of the Summer Institute is its most defining feature and valuable asset. The next 5 years of the Institute will continue its successful traditions, while also providing innovations to significantly augment and enhance the program. The Summer Institute in Cognitive Neuroscience provides an essential service to the field by providing the nation's young scientists with unique training that fosters interdisciplinary perspective and collaboration, and by encouraging cross-disciplinary exchange between established scientific leaders and young, promising researchers. The Institute contributes directly to the advancement of the field by calling attention to and advancing knowledge of issues at the frontiers of current discovery that are relevant to the mission of the NIH in basic and translational research and training.
