CNeuro2024 summer school in computational neuroscience, Beijing, July 2024
by Rava A. da Silveira Feb. 26, 2024

Feb. 26, 2024

*CN**EURO**2024* *Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience Summer School* *8 to 15 July 2024 — In person in Beijing, China* *This year: “N**EURAL** C**ODING,** L**EARNING,* *AND **D**ECISION **M* *AKING**”* *www.cneuro.net* <http://www.cneuro.net> *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. 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 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. *Topic and format* This year’s school will explore various facets of neural coding, learning, and decision making, from circuit neuroscience to cognition to artificial intelligence. The course will bring together leading scientists in the field, who will deliver both introductory and advanced lectures, and take part in small-group discussions. Other activities will include homework sessions and student presentations, as well as the now popular ‘Life and Science’ panel series, in which faculty and students can both share their personal experiences and views on research and career. *Faculty* Dmitri (Mitya) Chklovskii (Flatiron Institute) Nathaniel Daw (Princeton University) Pulin Gong (University of Sydney) Vincent Hakim (Ecole Normale Supérieure) Ole Jensen (University of Birmingham) Sukbin Lim (New York University Shanghai) Rubén Moreno Bote (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) Naoshige Uchida (Havard University) Ninglong Xu (Institute of Neuroscience, Shanghai) Tianming Yang (Institute of Neuroscience, Shanghai) Hang Zhang (Peking University) Lusha Zhu (Peking University) *Organizers* Rava Azeredo da Silveira (ENS and IOB) Stella Christie (Tsinghua University) Sen Song (Tsinghua University) Louis Tao (Peking University) Xiaoqin Wang (Johns Hopkins University) Quan Wen (USTC) *Application and deadline* Information and application guidelines at https://www.cneuro.net/cneuro2024. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We will make every effort to recruit students from diverse backgrounds including all genders and ethnic groups.

School of Ideas in Neuroscience 2024
by Mateusz Kostecki Feb. 21, 2024

Feb. 21, 2024

Hello! We are super happy to announce *School** of Ideas in Neuroscience 2024!* How the knowledge in neuroscience is accumulated? How can we make sense of the terabytes of empirical data we collect every day? In everyday work, we often forget that every scientific endeavour is embedded in a broader theoretical framework. At the same time, most courses and workshops in neuroscience teach us experimental techniques, giving us more tools to gather more data. But, we are not taught how to develop ideas and integrate our research with the existing knowledge. *We believe that theoretical thinking and idea development are skills that can be trained just as new methodologies and data analysis tools*. At our school, we aim to teach participants how to think theoretically to collect data that makes sense and to make sense of collected data! Come to Warsaw to discuss the most exciting theories and ideas with neuroscientists & philosophers! We provide beautiful surroundings, great atmosphere and a lot of time to talk and think together. The school will take place in Warsaw, *July 9th - July 15th 2024*, in the famous historical building of Polish Academy of Sciences Museum of the Earth, in the beautiful park area of the city. *The fee is EUR 550, but we offer fee waivers and travel grants*.
