Virtual DFT School 2021

This year our summer school "Neural Dynamics for Embodied Cognition" 
will take place in virtual form from the 6th to the 11th of September, 
2021.

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 practical 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.

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.

This virtual edition of our summer school will consist of two parts: A 
live-lecture series and a hands-on workshop. The lecture series will be 
held as a video conference and provides a step-by-step introduction to 
Dynamic Field Theory.
The lecture series will be held from the 6th to the 11th of September 
and the workshop takes place from the 9th to the 11th of September.
Lectures will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. (CET) each day.

Participation in any part of the school is free of charge.
