Connectionists: Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School 2023 in Suzhou, China

[Robert Guangyu Yang]

The 2023 Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School (CCNSS)
will be held in Suzhou, China from July 1 to 22. *Application deadline is
in two weeks, at April 30*. All students, tutors, and faculty-in-residence
will be in person. Lectures will have a hybrid format



Designed to emphasize computational principles and neural circuit
mechanisms of higher cognitive functions, the course aims at training
talented and highly motivated students and postdoctoral fellows from Asia
and around the world. We welcome both applicants with quantitative
backgrounds (including Physics, Mathematics, Engineering and Computer
Science) and those with experimental backgrounds. The lectures will
introduce the basic concepts and methods, as well as cutting-edge research
on higher brain functions such as decision-making, attention, learning and
memory. Modeling will be taught at multiple levels, ranging from single
neuron computation and microcircuits up to large-scale brain systems and
artificial intelligence and psychiatric disorders. Python-based programming
labs coordinated with the lectures will provide practical training in
important computational methods.

This year's faculty include:

*Dora Angelaki*, New York University

*Robert Desimone*, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

*Evelina Fedorenko*, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

*Christopher Honey*, Johns Hopkins University

*Chengcheng Huang*, University of Pittsburgh
