Connectionists: Workshop: From synaptic plasticity to motor control, Sep 19-20 @ EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

[Aditya Gilra]

Hi,

We're organizing a workshop titled "From synaptic plasticity to motor
control" at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland on Sep 19-20, 2017.

Theme:
How do networks of spiking neurons in the brain learn to predict, plan and
control body movements? We explore recent developments at the intersection
of control theory, reservoir computing, FORCE learning, function
approximation, artificial neural networks, learning theory, and local
plasticity rules, to build collaborative directions for modelling
biological motor learning.
