JAMES S. MCDONNEL FOUNDATION
THIRD ANNUAL SUMMER INSTITUTE IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE
Dartmouth College and Medical School
July 2 - July 13, 1990
The Third Annual Summer Institute will be held from July 2 through
July 13, 1990. The two week course will examine how information
about the brain bears on issues in cognitive science, and how
approaches in cognitive science apply to neuroscience research. A
distinguished faculty will lecture on current topics in perception and
language; laboratories and demonstrations will offer practical experience
with cognitive neuropsychology experiments, connectionist/computational
modeling, and neuroanatomy. At every stage, the relationship between
cognitive issues and underlying neural circuits will be explored. The
Institute directors will be Michael Gazzaniga, George A. Miller, Wolf Singer
and Gordon Shepherd. Applications are invited from beginning and established
researchers. The Foundation is providing limited support for travel expenses
and room/board.
