2023 summer school

AI in Neuroscience

Location 
Sirdal Høyfjellshotell, outside Stavanger 

When 
21-24 August 2023

The summer school aims to provide an enriching experience for early career researchers by offering an opportunity to network with peers and senior researchers while engaging in stimulating discussions on current research topics. With the support of distinguished academics from various fields, participants will gain a deeper understanding of their research area and develop valuable skills for their future careers. In addition to the academic program, the summer school will incorporate various social activities such as hiking and exploring the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding mountains. This will provide participants with the chance to relax and recharge, while also fostering a sense of community and collaboration among participants.

Sirdal høyfjellshotell provides the perfect setting for our program, with its scenic location and comfortable amenities. The hotel's facilities and services, including conference rooms, catering, and accommodation, will ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all participants. 

The AI in Neuroscience Summer Schoolis a four-dayintensive program that seeks to bring together leading experts in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to explore the current and emerging advances and applications of AI within neuroscience research. The program will provide an opportunity for participants to gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in the use of AI within neuroscience. It is intended for those with some knowledge of either AI or neuroscience (or both) who want to gain a deeper understanding of the field, as well as those who are new to AI and wish to explore its potential applications in neuroscience.

Objectives

• The main objectiveof this summer school is to provide participants with an understanding of the potential applications of AI within neuroscience, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with the implementation of AI in neuroscience research.
• It will providean opportunity for students and professionals to learn how to apply AI algorithms in neuroscience research and to gain experience in the development of AI-based solutions for diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.

2022 summer school

Mathematical Methods in Computational Neuroscience

Dates: 20th July - 5th August 2022

Place: Fred Kavli Science Center, Eresfjord, Norway

Computational Neuroscience and Inference from data are disciplines that extensively use tools from Mathematics and Physics to understand the behavior of model neuronal networks and analyze data from real experiments. Due to its interdisciplinary nature and the complexity of the neuronal networks, the list of techniques that are borrowed from Physics and Mathematics is an extensive one. Although using tools from standard curriculum of Physics, Mathematics and Engineering is common, more advanced research requires methods and techniques that are not usually covered in any single discipline. 

To fill in this gap, this summer school covers some of the most important methods used in computational neuroscience research through both main lectures and scientific seminars (5-6 main lectures per topic and 1-2 seminars by each invited seminar speaker).

Organizers: Yasser Roudi, Ivan Davidovich and Benjamin Dunn, Chewy (Chief Security Officer)

Applications will open soon. More information can be found here.
