DFT Summer School 2023 Bochum, Germany

This year our summer school "Neural Dynamics for Embodied Cognition"
will take place from the 21st to the 26th of August, 2023 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 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.

The school combines tutorial lectures with hands-on project work.
Participants will develop their own modeling project, which may connect 
to their ongoing doctoral or postdoctoral research.
