emerge from complex and intricate interactions within the brain remains a deep
and unsolved mystery, central to an exciting area of interdisciplinary
research. The past decade has seen rapid progress in experimental tools that
now make it possible to monitor and manipulate brain circuits in unprecedented detail.
This evolution presents challenges and opportunities for both experimentalists
and theorists, as the complex algorithmics of brain function and the intricate
interactions among neurons cannot be approached with experiments alone.
Mathematical theory is instrumental in the emergence of theoretical insights
and frameworks that can help guide experimental work and identify unifying
principles of brain function.</span></p>

school will be to introduce students with a strong quantitative background (in
mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering) to the emerging field
of theoretical and computational neuroscience. The course will bring together
leading scientists in the field, who will deliver lectures, take part in
small-group discussions, and share their personal experience and views on a
range of research topics. The distinguishing feature of CNeuro is the emphasis
it places on the role of systematic mathematical theory for understanding the
brain, in part by stressing the connections between neuroscience, statistics,
machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The summer school will serve as
a pedagogical introduction to some of the methods particularly relevant to
exploring these connections.</span></p>

learning and other cognitive function, as well as machine learning and Bayesian
approaches. There will be the possibility for students to work on problem sets
and initiate independent projects.</span></p>
