> RESUS - REpetition SUppression SUmmer
School

> REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN; PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ONLINE
> One of the most robust experience-dependent adjustments of neural function is
repetition suppression (RS): the rapid reduction of neural responses caused by the
repetition (or prolonged prior presentation) of a given stimulus. RS is a robust and
reliable neural phenomenon that clearly shows the plastic changes of the CNS. In spite of
the broad interest and intensive studying no consensus has been reached regarding the
neural mechanisms of RS as of today. The aim of RESUS is to bring together eminent
researchers from the USA, the UK, and Europe with students of a broad range of disciplines
to teach and discuss current views on RS. The speakers are experts in clinical,
computational, single-cell, EEG/MEG/ERP, TMS and fMRI studies. We expect that RESUS will
give a unique opportunity to present, discuss, and integrate cutting-edge research on this
important phenomenon of the CNS.
> 1 intensive week of training with 20 speakers from 8 countries for 40 students as a
maximum
> The Friedrich Schiller University, Jena organizes a Summer School aimed at PhD
