Summer School Neuronal Dynamics for Cognitive Robotics
September 3-7, 2012
Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany
Institute for Neural Computation
http://robotics-school.org/

Neuronal dynamics provide a powerful theoretical language for the design 
and modelling of embodied and situated cognitive systems.
The school is aimed at advanced undergraduate or graduate students, 
postdocs and faculty members in embodied cognition, cognitive science 
and robotics. A limited number of scholarships is available from 
sponsoring by the EU COG III network.

Scope
This summer school gives a hands-on introduction to neuronal dynamics 
ideas and will enable participants to become pro- ductive within this 
framework.
Participants will develop and implement small experimental projects on 
their own to establish a link to their re- search interest.

Topics
Neural attractor dynamics, Dynamic Field Theory, neuronal 
representations, navigation behavior, artificial perception, learning 
mechanisms, implementation
issues

To apply, please send a CV and a short cover letter with background and 
motivation to gregor.schoener at rub.de by July 1, 2012.
