Systems Vision Science Virtual Summer School & Symposium:
June 19th – July 12th, 2024
--------------------------------
Applications are invited for a virtual edition of the Systems Vision Science Summer School and Symposium that took place in Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen, Germany in August 2023.
This year, the virtual edition enables students to attend from afar by formal lectures via Zoom and informal and social communications via a Slack channel.
Systems Vision Science combines computational, behavioral, and neuroscience methods to discover functions and algorithms for vision in various brain regions
and their implementations in neural circuits. This summer school is designed for everyone interested in gaining a systems level understanding of biological vision.
We plan a coherent, graduate-level, syllabus on the integration of experimental data with theory and models. The syllabus content will be very similar to the edition in 2023,
the learning format, the delivery, and social interactions will be adjusted to suit the virtual format.
Experience or knowledge in (A) computational methods, (B) visual psychophysics, and (C) vision neuroscience, is not required.
However, experience in at least one of (A), (B), and (C), and a readiness to learn, is expected.
The Summer School will be followed by a Systems Vision Science Virtual Symposium on July 12th. All admitted summer school students will be invited to attend this symposium
and are encouraged to submit for a presentation at the symposium. The symposium will also feature two invited keynote presentations.
A certificate of completion of the summer school course will be provided after the student’s successful completion of the summer school.
