Summer School on:

NEURONAL DYNAMICS FOR EMBODIED COGNITION

held from the 31st of August until the 4th of September, 2020 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 may 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.

To apply, please send a CV and a short cover letter with background and 
motivation to

Selection of participants will begin by May 27, 2020.
