A school & workshop series centring on analysing connectionist models of higher-level cognition: perception, memory, decision-making, language, and cognitive control.
Connectionism, a theoretical approach in cognitive science, uses neural network models to simulate perception, memory, decision-making, language and cognitive control. For all its successes, theoretical understanding lags behind empirical practice. This series brings together graduate students, postdocs and senior researchers to close the gap, through intensive summer schools, focused workshops, and peer-reviewed lecture notes.
