Dear all,
We invite you to the Bernoulli Workshop and PhD course:
“Peering through Behavior into the Brain”
The objective of this workshop and course is to bring together
scientists from around the world to explore how behavior, especially in
small animals, can be used to infer underlying brain functionality.
Designed for theorists and experimentalists, the workshop will focus on
developing new experimental approaches, quantitative models,
computational frameworks, and advanced algorithms to decode neural
activity from behavioral data. We would like to ignite discussions on
experimental paradigms, machine learning, dynamical systems theory, and
statistical modeling, with the goal of advancing our understanding of
the brain-behavior relationship through next-generation experimental and
theoretical tools. In addition, the workshop serves as a PhD course for
EPFL students.
