Connectionists: 3rd Model-based Neuroscience Summer School, Amsterdam

[Jane Neumann]

Dear colleagues,

June 27-July 1 2016 will see the third Model-Based Neuroscience Summer 
School, hosted at the University of Amsterdam.



The summer school will provide students with hands-on experience in both 
cognitive modeling using diffusion and accumulator models and simple 
neuroscience methods. The program includes a series of lectures on 
model-based decision neuroscience in both humans and non-human primates 
from experts including Michael Shadlen, Gordon Logan, Andrew Heathcote, 
Uta Noppeney, Brandon Turner, Jane Neumann, and Birte Forstmann. 



*The summer school is aimed at PhD students and early postdocs who wish 
to combine cognitive modeling with experimental and theoretical 
neuroscience research. Students should be familiar with general 
programming concepts and state in their application which programming 
languages and software packages they typically use. *

The summer school will be co-located at the University of Amsterdam with 
a one-day symposium on model-based neuroscience of mind wandering, to be 
held on July 2 2016. The symposium will involve a series of lectures 
from experts in the scientific study of mind wandering with a focus on 
model-based neuroscience approaches. The symposium will provide a unique 
opportunity to see how the concepts introduced in the summer school can 
provide insight on an important research topic.

*Application and registration:*

The registration fee for the summer school is 500 euro. The 
registration fee for combined attendance at the summer school and the 
one-day mind wandering symposium is 600 euro. We ask that students make 
their own housing arrangements. Space is limited, therefore we ask that 
you provide a statement of interest. We will select students based on 
the relevance of the summer school to their research. The application 
deadline is 22 April 2016.



More information about the summer school including teachers, 
preliminary program and application can be found

We look forward to welcoming you in Amsterdam!
