[CogSci] Model-based Neuroscience Summer School 2023

[Dora Matzke]

Dear colleagues,


July 24 – 28 2023 will see the eighth Model-Based Neuroscience Summer School, hosted at the University of Amsterdam. The summer school is held the week after the international MathPsych conference (https://mathpsych.org/conference/12/), also hosted in Amsterdam!


The Summer School will provide participants with hands-on experience in both cognitive modeling using evidence-accumulation models and cognitive neuroscience methods. This year, the summer school includes an introduction to evidence accumulation models, combining evidence-accumulation models with reinforcement-learning models and joint-modelling of behavioral and neural data. The program is sponsored by the Netherlands Organization of Scientific Research (NWO) and includes a series of lectures on model-based decision neuroscience from experts including Andrew Heathcote, Dora Matzke, Brandon Turner, Michael Nunez, Steven Miletić, Birte Forstmann and other keynote speakers to be determined!


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 € 450. 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 May 15, 2023.


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 to Amsterdam!
