NeuroBridges 2019 Summer school , Cluny,
France
( September 8th - September 19th, 2019)
I
would like to bring to your attention the NeuroBridges 2019 Computational
Neuroscience School.
NeuroBridges is a
one-of-a-kind series of scientific meetings in brain research,
which brings together Mediterranean and Middle Eastern
scientists, in order to promote international scientific
cooperation in system and computational neuroscience. A major
goal of this school is to serve as a bridge between
experimental and theoretical neuroscientists, addressing
system-level questions. This year the school will primarily
focus on the neural basis and computational principles
underlying sensory- motor tasks, in which the agent chooses
from a small number of actions based on sensory and operant
cues.
The forthcoming NeuroBridges 2019 will be a ten-day summer school. Students will attend lectures delivered by a group of leading neuroscientists, experimentalists as well as theoreticians, which will address the fundamental questions in the field of decision making. In addition to the lectures, the students will work in groups on small research projects.
The school is intended for graduate students and postdocs, primarily (but not only) from the Middle East and the Mediterranean region either working in their home countries or abroad. We will consider applicants with some background in related fields in neuroscience or cognitive psychology.
Through the online application system, you will be asked to provide personal details, academic background, a motivation letter that should include a paragraph about your quantitative skills and a CV. In addition, we request two recommendation letters.
The school will take place between September 8 and September 19, 2019 in Le Centre de Conferences Internationales de Cluny (CCIC). Cluny is a small medieval town in Burgundy, France, located about 400km southeast of Paris (accessible by fast train, TGV).
All costs of registration and accommodation will be covered by the organizers. A limited number of travel grants will also be available.
NeuroBridges is co-organized by Ahmed El Hady (Princeton Neuroscience Institute, USA), Yonatan Loewenstein(Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) and David Hansel (CNRS, Paris, France).
Review of applications will end in May 2019.
