I am a first year grad student at the U of MN Neuroscience Program. I
am interested in modeling the nervous system at the physiological level.
Within this first year, the computational group here has "broken up", and
I find myself without an available lab to complete my thesis in. Specificly,
I am interested in pursuing non-linear ("Chaotic") models.
I am requesting:
1) Information on Ph.D. programs with a strong group in this
area
2) Opportunities to work with individuals not affiliated with
a University, to set up an off-site thesis advisor
situation, while still being affiliated with U of MN
(National Laboratory or Industry researchers)
3) Suggestions for literature readings to become better aqu
acquainted with research in this area. I have read
much of Rall's work, and have been been examining
Chaotic phenomena via Glass and Mackey, Chay and
Rinzel, and May and Oster. I have had a year of
intense biological and physiological reading in many
areas of Neuroscience.
Ultimatley, I would like to look at learning and memory systems. For now,
I need a good lab in which to develop modeling skills at any level of
nervous system phenomena. While I am more interested in learning mathematics
than learning an experimental prep, I would be willing to invest time into
expanding my electrophysiology skills.
Please respond via E-Mail. I appreciate any information that can be forwarded
to me.
