Dear colleagues,
August 3 – 7 2020 will see the seventh Model-Based Neuroscience Summer School, hosted at the University of Amsterdam.
The summer school will provide participants with hands-on experience in both cognitive modeling using evidence-accumulation models and cognitive neuroscience methods, and this year for the first time includes an introduction to combining evidence-accumulation models with reinforcement-learning models. The program includes a series of lectures on model-based decision neuroscience from experts including Andrew Heathcote, Dora Matzke, Brandon Turner, Sebastian Gluth, Bernadette van Wijk, Steven Miletić, and Birte Forstmann.
The summer school is aimed at PhD students and early postdocs who wish to combine cognitive modeling with experimental and theoretical neuroscience research. Participants should be familiar with general programming concepts and state in their statement of interest which programming languages and software packages they typically use. Familiarity with R is particularly recommended.
Application and registration:
The registration fee for the Summer School is €400 (depending on availability of spots, on site-registration is also possible for €500). Participants should make their own housing arrangements. Space is limited, therefore we ask participants to provide a statement of interest. We will select participants based on the relevance of the Summer School to their research. The application deadline is June 1, 2020.
More information about the Summer School including lecturers, preliminary program, and application can be found at https://modelbasedneurosci.com/.
We look forward to welcoming you in Amsterdam!
