UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
OXFORD SUMMER SCHOOL ON CONNECTIONIST MODELLING
Department of Experimental Psychology
University of Oxford
Sunday 20th July - Friday 1st August, 2003
FINAL REMINDER
--------------
Applications are invited for participation in a 2-week residential Summer School on techniques
in connectionist modelling. The course is aimed primarily at researchers who wish to exploit
neural network models in their teaching and/or research and it will provide a general
introduction to connectionist modelling, biologically plausible neural networks and brain
function through lectures and exercises on Macintosh's and PC's. The course is
interdisciplinary in content though many of the illustrative examples are taken from cognitive
and developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. The instructors with primary
responsibility for teaching the course are Kim Plunkett and Edmund Rolls. This year's guest
lecturers include Jay McClelland, David Plaut, Lionel Tarassenko and Michael Thomas.
No prior knowledge of computational modelling will be required though simple word
processing skills will be assumed. Participants will be encouraged to start work on their own
modelling projects during the Summer School.
The cost of participation in the Summer School is £950. This figure covers the cost of
accommodation (bed and breakfast at St. John's College), registration and all literature required
for the Summer School. Participants will be expected to cover their own travel and meal costs.
A number of partial bursaries (£200) will be available for graduate students. Applicants should
indicate whether they wish to be considered for a graduate student scholarship but are advised to
seek further funding as well, since in previous years the number of graduate student applications
has far exceeded the number of scholarships available.
If you are interested in participating in the Summer School, please complete the application
form at the web address http://epwww.psych.ox.ac.uk/conferences/connectionist_modelling or
alternatively send a brief description of your background with an explanation of why you would
like to attend the Summer School, to:
