[Eeglablist] Birmingham-Leiden Summer School in Computational Social Cognition

[Lei Zhang]

(Apologies for cross-posting)

We are delighted to welcome applications for the first edition of the
Birmingham-Leiden
summer school in Computational Social Cognition (CSC).
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.compsoccog.com/__;!!Mih3wA!Fh8Aa-kq8kpMbMelGl8INqLiEpY8YZrC5YXg2ZUYhMkHCBvWcTyt9gUkfTCg7hfhB6eaxnpw1qj-yiZLqV0888bHDAdyAzE$ > The summer school is hosted at the University
of Birmingham (UK), in collaboration with Leiden University (NL), and will
take place from 15th-17th July 2024. Apply by 14th March 2024 (see
information below)!



In the past decade, computational modelling has been extremely helpful in
explaining various concepts and processes in social cognition, and these
modelling frameworks include the reinforcement learning models, Bayesian
learning models, models of theory of mind, models of effort discounting,
and drift diffusion models. This timely summer school will provide talks
and training on these latest developments focusing on learning,
decision-making and computational modelling in social cognition, as well as
topics covering theoretical issues in social cognition.



Attending the Birmingham-Leiden CSC Summer School will equip a diverse
cohort of early career researchers (trainees through to junior faculty
members) with the ability to understand, program and interpret the output
of a range of computational models of social cognition. Attendees will
receive different types of training aimed at understanding modelling as
well as the theoretical and practical inferences that can be drawn from
computational models.  For more information about this year’s training
program, including criteria and application instructions, please visit our
website <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.compsoccog.com/__;!!Mih3wA!Fh8Aa-kq8kpMbMelGl8INqLiEpY8YZrC5YXg2ZUYhMkHCBvWcTyt9gUkfTCg7hfhB6eaxnpw1qj-yiZLqV0888bHDAdyAzE$ >. The deadline is March 14, 2024. We
hope to see you this summer in Birmingham!
