FENS Summer School on ‘Artificial and natural computations for sensory perception: what is the link?’

In this school, we will discuss analogies and discrepancies between sensory system computations and artificial intelligence models and how the two fields can interact more to advance each other. A set of international lectures will provide an overview of modern algorithms in artificial intelligence and recent breakthroughs in the neural mechanisms of sensory perception. The students will also learn how to practically implement machine learning tools from recent AI technologies, such as deep neural networks, and to apply them in concrete examples relevant for neuroscience experimental or theoretical research.
