[Eeglablist] Model-based Neuroscience Summer School, University of Amsterdam

[Mark Zrubka]

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!
