<br>
<div dir="ltr"><b>June 1-5 2015</b> will see the second <b>Model-based
Neuroscience Summer School</b>, hosted at the <b>University
of Amsterdam</b>.<br>
<br>
The school will provide students with hands-on experience in
both cognitive modeling using diffusion and accumulator models
and simple neuroscience methods. In addition, the program
includes a debate between the two most prominent perspectives on
the model-based neuroscience of perceptual decision-making.
These perspectives place a different primary focus on either
behavior (Ratcliff) or neural dynamics (Logan). Consequently,
they bring different insights to the combined research agenda.<br>
<br>
The summer school is aimed at PhD students and early PostDocs
who wish to combine cognitive modelling with experimental and
theoretical neuroscience research. Students should be familiar
with general programming concepts and state in their application
which programming languages and software packages they typically
use. <br>
<br>
The summer school is only 100 euro, however, we ask that
students make their own housing arrangements. Space is limited,
therefore we ask that you provide a statement of interest. We
will base selection of students based on the relevance of the
summer school to their research. <br>
<br>
More information about the teachers, preliminary programme, and
application can be found at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
