<div class="gmail_default">Dear Fellow Neuroscientists and Students,<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"><br>
We would like to welcome you to a BrainCosmos Summer School titled "Neural circuit complexity: Neuroscience, Models and Robotics - Where do they lead?" organized at Lake Como, Italy from August 30-September 3, 2021.<br>
For more info: <a href="https://brco.lakecomoschool.org/" target="_blank">https://brco.lakecomoschool.org/ </a><br>
<br>
The BrainCosmos summer school focuses on the study of the brain, neuroscience of circuits and behavior in micro and macro scales, models, experiments, alongside topics of robotics and artificial intelligence and a perspective on brain diseases. The school primarily
targets PhD students across all research disciplines, but applications from professionals, masters students and post-doctoral researchers are welcome as well. The School will also cater to early career researchers in Neuroscience and will aim to promote critical
thinking within the field and beyond. The scope covers a very wide range of topics that we believe to be of interest to many fields related to neuroscience, modeling, robotics and artificial intelligence.<br>
<br>
<b><u>PARTICIPATION: </u></b>The school will run in parallel with two simultaneous batches, one in presence (20 participants) and another remotely (20 participants).
