[All details about this school can be found online at https://www.nengo.ai/summer-school] The Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo is excited to announce our 8th annual Nengo summer school on large-scale brain modelling and neuromorphic computing. This two-week school will teach participants to use the Nengo simulation package to build state-of-the-art cognitive and neural models to run both in simulation and on neuromorphic hardware. Summer school participants will be given on-site access to neuromorphic hardware and will learn to run high-level applications using Nengo! More generally, Nengo provides users with a versatile and powerful environment for designing cognitive and neural systems and has been used to build what is currently the world's largest functional brain model, Spaun, which includes spiking deep learning, reinforcement learning, adaptive motor control, and cognitive control networks. For a look at the last in-person summer school, check out this short video: https://youtu.be/5w0BzvNOypc We welcome applications from all interested graduate students, postdocs, professors, and industry professionals with a relevant background. ***Application Deadline: March 15, 2023*** Format: A combination of tutorials and project-based work. Participants are encouraged to bring their own ideas for projects, which may focus on testing hypotheses, modeling neural or cognitive data, implementing specific behavioural functions with neurons, expanding past models, or providing a proof-of-concept of various neural mechanisms. Hands-on tutorials, work on individual or group projects, and talks from invited faculty members will make up the bulk of day-to-day activities. A project demonstration event will be held on the last day of the school, with prizes for strong projects! Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to: * interface Nengo with various kinds of neuromorphic hardware (e.g. Loihi 1, SpiNNaker) * build perceptual, motor, and sophisticated cognitive models using spiking neurons * model anatomical, electrophysiological, cognitive, and behavioural data * use a variety of single cell models within a large-scale model * integrate machine learning methods into biologically oriented models * interface Nengo with cameras and robotic systems * implement modern nonlinear control methods in neural models * and much more? Date and Location: June 4th to June 16th, 2023 at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Applications: Please visit http://www.nengo.ai/summer-school, where you can find more information regarding costs, travel, lodging, along with an application form listing required materials. If you have any questions about the school or the application process, please contact Michael Furlong (michael.furlong at uwaterloo.ca). The school is also partly supported by ONR and ABR, Inc.

This will be in person, although we will try to support remote participation. The tentative schedule is: ? 12-13 Jun: Beginner tutorial ? 14-15 Jun noon: Workshop talks ? 15 Jun noon ? 16 Jun: Advanced tutorials By splitting the tutorials on each side of the workshop, the thought is that beginners can attend M-Th noon and advanced users can attend W-F. The actual length of the Workshop (W-Th) will depend on the number of talks people?sign up for. For the advanced tutorials, we are planning to have short-to-medium modules on specific topics that go beyond what is covered in the beginning tutorial. Examples could include deep dives into chunking, episodic memory, semantic memory, SVS, SML (interfacing to other systems), VisualSoar, performance tuning your Soar agent, ...? If you have a request for?a specific topic, please?let me know. A call for registration and talks will go out in late Apr. As always, there will be no registration fee. Hope to see you in June!
