Since the school's topics are interdisciplinary covering neurobiology, neuronal biophysics, microscopy, and electronics, preliminary knowledge in these fields is highly recommended.</div> <div class="gmail_default"><br /></div> <div class="gmail_default"><strong>SPEAKERS</strong></div> <div class="gmail_default"><br /></div> <div class="gmail_default">Luca Berdondini, Italian Institute of Technology, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Paolo Del Giudice, National Institute of Health, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Stefano Ferraina, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Marta Giacomello, University of Padova, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Michele Giugliano, University of Antwerp, Belgium</div> <div class="gmail_default">Bernd Kuhn, Okinawa Institute of Science &amp; Technology, Japan</div> <div class="gmail_default">Gabriele Losi, CNR Institute of Neuroscience, Padova, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Sergio Martinoia, University of Genova, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Marcello Massimini University of Milan , Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Silvestro Micera, EPFL, Switzerland &amp; SSSUP, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Ofer Yizhar, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel</div> <div class="gmail_default">Stefano Panzeri, Italian Institute of Technology, Italy</div> <div class="gmail_default">Patrick Ruther, University of Freiburg, Germany</div> <div class="gmail_default">Roland Thewes, University of Berlin, Germany</div> <div class="gmail_default">Paul Verschure, Pompeu Fabra University, Spain</div> <div class="gmail_default">Guenther Zeck, NMI at the University of Tuebingen, Germany</div> <div class="gmail_default">Ralf Zeitler, MPI for Intelligent Systems, Germany</div> <div class="gmail_default"><br /></div> <div class="gmail_default"><strong>REGISTRATION</strong></div> <div class="gmail_default"><br /></div> <div class="gmail_default">To apply, please register at (<a href="http://www.vassanellilab.eu/school-neurotechniques/registration/" target="_blank">http://www.vassanellilab.eu/school-neurotechniques/registration/</a>) on or before February 20, 2015.
