<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica">We are pleased to announce the 7th Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) Summer School which will take place July 9-27, 2017, on the campus of NYU-Shanghai in Shanghai, China.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica">Designed to emphasize higher cognitive functions and their underlying neural circuit mechanisms, the course aims at training talented and highly motivated students and postdoctoral fellows
from Asia and other countries in the world. Applicants with quantitative (including Physics, Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science) or experimental background are welcomed. The lectures will introduce the basic concepts and methods, as well as cutting-edge
research on higher brain functions such as decision-making, attention, learning and memory. Modeling will be taught at multiple levels, ranging from single neuron computation, microcircuits and large-scale systems, to normative theoretical approach. Python-based
programming labs coordinated with the lectures will provide practical training in important computational methods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
