Summer School on:

NEURONAL DYNAMICS FOR COGNITIVE ROBOTICS

held August 28 - September 1, 2017 at the Institute for Neural Computation,
Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Gregor Schöner.

Neuronal dynamics provide a powerful theoretical language for the design
and modeling of embodied and situated cognitive systems.
This school provides a hands-on and down-to-earth introduction to neuronal
dynamics ideas and enables participants to become productive within this
framework.

The school is aimed at advanced undergraduate or graduate students,
postdocs and faculty members in embodied cognition, cognitive science and
robotics.

The school combines tutorial lectures in the mornings with hands-on
projects working with robotic systems.
Participants will develop their own modeling project, which will connect to
their ongoing doctoral or postdoctoral research.

Topics addressed include: neural dynamics, attractor dynamics and
instabilities, dynamic field theory, neuronal representations, artificial
perception, simple forms of cognition including detection and selection
decisions, memory formation, learning, and grounding relational concepts.

Selection of participants will begin by June 15, 2017.
