Connectionists: Invitation to participate in Workshop on Computational Theories of the Brain, April 16 - 19, 2018 in Berkeley (USA)

[Wolfgang Maass]

You are invited to participate in the Workshop "Computational Theories 
of the Brain" at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at the 
University of California, Berkeley, USA.  This workshop will take place 
April 16 - 19, 2018, as part of the current special semester "The Brain 
and Computation" at the Simons Institute 
https://simons.berkeley.edu/programs/brain2018

This workshop​ ​is about general computational principles ​for ​networks 
of neurons that help us understand experimental data, about principles 
that enable us to reproduce aspects of the brain's astounding 
computational capability in models and neuromorphic hardware, and about 
the connections between computational neuroscience and machine learning. 
Videos of the lectures will be poster after the workshop.

Program of the workshop:

Organizers:
Wolfgang Maass (Graz University of Technology; chair), Christos 
Papadimitriou (Columbia University), S. Murray Sherman (University of 
Chicago)

Participation is free, but you need to register in advance at
