This five-day course, sponsored by the Japanese
Neural Network Society , aims to bring together graduate students
and leading researchers who are interested in the study of information
processing in the brain. It provides opportunities for theoreticians
to learn recent experimental findings and to work on real data, and
for experimentalists
to be acquainted with theoretical frameworks and to have hands-on experience
with latest computational techniques. (note: most lectures are given
in
Japanese.)
