BAMB! 2020 will take place from Sept 2 to Sept 9, 2020. For more information please see: www.bambschool.org.

BAMB! teaches advanced techniques in model-based analysis of behavior (humans and other species) to cognitive and computational neuroscientists at PhD and early career levels. This will be achieved through structured lectures, talks, hands-on tutorials and group project aimed at making knowledge obtained directly applicable to the participants' own research. We want the trainees to acquire both the conceptual bases and the technical skills that will enable them to pursue a full modelling approach on their own when they come back to their lab.

The course is intended for PhD students and postdocs in cognitive and computational neuroscience with  solid background in computational/quantitative analysis to benefit maximally from the advanced training offered by the course. Proficiency in either Python or Matlab is also required. We will seek a nice blend of experimentalists (cognitive psychology / neuroscience) and theoreticians (with or without experience in cognitive modeling).Female scientists and scientists from underrepresented countries are especially encouraged to apply.

Dates and location: September 2-9, downtown Barcelona, Spain

Organizers:

Chris Summerfield (Oxford / Deepmind)
Klaus Wimmer (CRM, Barcelona)
Alex Hyafil (UPF/CRM, Barcelona)
