Featured upcoming workshop
SCAN 2026
A focused training event by the Pena Lab at Florida Atlantic University, bringing together computational neuroscience, connectomics, protein structure, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, simulation, quantum computing, and emerging computational methods for neuroscience research.
The School for Computational Applications in Neuroscience is designed as an immersive short school for students and researchers interested in modern computational approaches to neuroscience. The program highlights practical methods, active research directions, and community-building around computational neuroscience at FAU.
This page will grow into a home for Pena Lab workshops offered locally and around the world. SCAN is the first featured event in a broader effort to share computational neuroscience tools, training, and scientific exchange with diverse research communities.

The first edition of the Summer School for Computational Applications in Neuroscience (SCAN) was held in summer 2025 at Florida State University. The course was invited by the CompNeuroSociety and served as a foundational event for establishing this innovative training program in computational neuroscience, bringing together students and researchers from many institutions to learn modern computational approaches.
