Connectionists: Final reminder: EMBO Practical Course - Barcelona summer school for Advanced Modelling of Behavior (BAMB!)

[Klaus Wimmer]

Applications for the Barcelona summer school for Advanced Modelling of Behavior (BAMB!<http://www.bambschool.org/>) are open until April 13.


BAMB! teaches advanced techniques in model-based analysis of behavior (humans and other species) to cognitive and computational neuroscientists at PhD and early career levels. This will be achieved through structured lectures, talks, hands-on tutorials and group projects aimed at making knowledge obtained directly applicable to the participants' own research. We want the trainees to acquire both the conceptual bases and the technical skills that will enable them to pursue a full modelling approach on their own when they come back to their lab.


The course is intended for PhD students and postdocs in cognitive and computational neuroscience with a solid background in computational/quantitative analysis to benefit maximally from the advanced training offered by the course. Proficiency in either Python or Matlab is also required. We seek a nice blend of experimentalists (cognitive psychology / neuroscience) and theoreticians (with or without experience in cognitive modeling). Scientists from underrepresented groups and countries are especially encouraged to apply. The school is anEMBO<https://www.embo.org/conferences-training/> Practical Course<https://www.embo.org/conferences-training/> and is organized by the Centre<http://www.crm.cat/> de Recerca Matemática<http://www.crm.cat/>. A limited number of travel<https://www.embo.org/funding/lecture-travel-and-childcare-grants/travel-grants/> grants<https://www.embo.org/funding/lecture-travel-and-childcare-grants/travel-grants/> will be available from EMBO.
