As in previous years, the spring school will cover four different modeling paradigms: ACT-R, Nengo, PRIMs, and Accumulator models. It thereby offers a unique opportunity to learn the relative strengths and weaknesses of these approaches. See the attached flyer for more information about the paradigms.</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Each day will consist of four theory lectures, one on each modeling paradigm. Each paradigm also includes hands-on assignments. Although students are free to choose the number of lectures they attend, we recommend students to sign up for lectures on two of the paradigms, and complete the tutorial units for one of the paradigms. At the end of each day there will be a plenary research talk, to show how these different approaches to modeling are applied. The Spring School will be concluded with a keynote lecture and a conference dinner.</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">This year we also offer the opportunity for project students to attend. The idea is that you have attended the spring school in an earlier year and now come back in the week of the spring school to work on your own modeling project under our supervision.</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Admission is limited, so register soon!</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Please feel free to forward this email and the attached flyer to others who might be interested!</span></div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">We are looking forward to seeing you in Groningen!</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Niels Taatgen</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Jelmer Borst</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Marieke van Vugt</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">Terry Stewart </div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12px;">& </span>Katja Mehlhorn</div><div class="" style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12px;"> </span></div><div class="">
