2018/2019 Seminars

This blog gives a detailed list of all CNU seminars, and also tries to bring together all computational neuroscience seminars happening across the university (starting in mid 2019). Regular events part of this list are the Mind and Machine and Neural Dynamics seminar series. See also our CNU lab meetings. More info on bristolcnu.github.io
