*CN**EURO **2020* *Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience Summer School* *17 to 21 August 2020 — Online, hosted by Tsinghua University, Beijing* http://brain.tsinghua.edu.cn/CNeuro *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, as the complex algorithmics of brain function and the intricate interactions among neurons cannot be approached with experiments alone. 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, theoretical physics, computer science, and engineering) to the emerging field of theoretical and computational neuroscience. The course will bring together leading scientists in the field, who will deliver lectures, take part in small-group discussions, and share their personal experience and views on a range of research topics. 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. The summer school will serve as a pedagogical introduction to some of the methods particularly relevant to exploring these connections. *Course Structure and Curriculum* Each day will include three hours of lectures as well as two hours of discussions among students and faculty, in small groups. Topics will touch upon the biophysics and dynamics of neurons and network, neural coding, models of learning and other cognitive function, as well as machine learning and Bayesian approaches. There will be the possibility for students to work on problem sets and initiate independent projects. *Faculty* Larry Abbott (Columbia University, USA) Rava Azeredo da Silveira (Ecole Normale Supérieure, France) Damon Clark (Yale University, USA) Ralf Haefner (University of Rochester, USA) Yu Hu (HKUST, Hong Kong) Daniel Lee (Cornell University, USA) Sen Song (Tsinghua University, China) Eric Shea-Brown (University of Washington, USA) Louis Tao (Peking University, China) Xiaoqin Wang (Johns Hopkins University, USA) Quan Wen (University of Science and Technology of China) Kechen Zhang (Johns Hopkins University, USA) Douglas Zhou (Shanghai JiaoTong University, China) *Application and deadline* Please submit CV and personal statement at http://brain.tsinghua.edu.cn/CNeuro, by 30 June 2020.
