The school is aimed at advanced undergraduate or graduate students, postdocs and faculty members in embodied cognition, cognitive science and robotics. A limited number of scholarships will be available from sponsoring by the EU COG III network (application pending).<br><br>Scope<br>This summer school gives a hands-on introduction to neuronal dynamics ideas and will enable participants to become pro- ductive within this framework. Participants will develop and implement small experimental projects on their own to establish a link to their research interest.<br><br>Topics<br>Neural attractor dynamics, Dynamic Field Theory, neuronal representations, navigation behavior, artificial perception, learning mechanisms, implementation issues<br><br>To apply, please send a CV and a short cover letter with background and motivation to <a href="mailto:gregor.schoener@rub.de">gregor.schoener@rub.de</a> . Selection of participants will begin by June 3, 2013. <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"></div></div></div></body></html>
