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.
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. The aim of the one-week summer 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 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.</span></p>

facets of neural coding, learning, and decision making, from circuit
neuroscience to cognition to artificial intelligence. The course will bring
together leading scientists in the field, who will deliver both introductory
and advanced lectures, and take part in small-group discussions. Other
activities will include homework sessions and student presentations, as well as
the now popular ‘Life and Science’ panel series, in which faculty and students
can both share their personal experiences and views on research and career.</span></p>
