01 — about
What we do.
CompNeuroSociety is Florida State University's computational neuroscience club, and it is led by undergraduates who run workshops, journal clubs, guest speaker events, and collaborative research projects for any student who wants to learn the field.
02 — our mission
Teach it ourselves.
Computational neuroscience is not taught very much at the undergraduate level, which is why we decided to teach it ourselves through workshops, journal clubs, and group projects. Ultimately, we hope that members leave with real skills, some research experience, and people to talk to about the field.
03 — what is computational neuroscience?
Math and computer models of how the brain works.
Computational neuroscience is the study of how the brain works using math and computer models, which is why it sits right between neuroscience, computer science, and mathematics.
04 — faq
Do I need coding or neuroscience experience to join?
No. CompNeuroSociety at Florida State University is open to any FSU student who is curious about computational neuroscience, regardless of their major or experience level, because every one of our workshop series starts from zero.
Is CompNeuroSociety open to every major?
Yes. Membership is open to every currently enrolled FSU student, not just neuroscience or computer science majors.
Does CompNeuroSociety have a hazing or discrimination policy?
Yes. We hold a zero-hazing policy, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or veteran status.
Do I have to attend every meeting?
No. We encourage active participation, but it is flexible because involvement naturally rises and falls with coursework, jobs, and life, and all we ask is that you stay in touch with the board.
If you are a faculty member or researcher, our project teams need mentors, which takes about 2–4 hours a month. Mentor interest form →
