*About CNeuro*

              How intelligence and behavior emerge from complex and
intricate interactions within the brain remains a deep and unsolved
mystery, central to an exciting area of interdisciplinary research. The
past decade has seen rapid progress in experimental tools that now make it
possible to monitor and manipulate brain circuits in unprecedented detail.
This evolution presents challenges and opportunities for both
experimentalists and theorists, as the complex algorithmics of brain
function and the intricate interactions among neurons cannot be approached
with experiments alone. Mathematical theory is instrumental in the
emergence of theoretical insights and frameworks that can help guide
experimental work and identify unifying principles of brain function.

              The aim of the one-week summer school will be to introduce
students with a strong quantitative background (in mathematics, physics,
computer science, and engineering) to the emerging field of theoretical and
computational neuroscience. The course will bring together leading
scientists in the field, who will deliver lectures, take part in
small-group discussions, and share their personal experience and views on a
range of research topics. The distinguishing feature of CNeuro is the
emphasis it places on the role of systematic mathematical theory for
understanding the brain, in part by stressing the connections between
neuroscience, statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
