The Brains, Minds and Machines Summer Course
<http://cbmm.mit.edu/summer-school/2016> will be held at MBL, Woods Hole,
MA, from August 15, 2016 through September 5, 2016. This course is
organized by the MIT-Harvard Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines
<https://cbmm.mit.edu/> (CBMM).



The goal of this course is to introduce students with a broad range of
backgrounds to cross-disciplinary research in Neuroscience, Cognitive
Science, and Computer Science. The first half of the course will focus on
the intersection between biological and computational aspects of learning
and vision. The second half will focus on high-level social cognition and
artificial intelligence, as well as audition, speech, and language
processing.



Lectures will be complemented by student research projects completed under
the supervision of CBMM postdocs and faculty.



We will also be hosting an Evening Lecture Series, including speakers from
both industry and academia, in the fields of neuroscience, computer
science, and cognitive science.



Past speakers include:



Larry Abbott <http://neurotheory.columbia.edu/~larry/>, Columbia University
College of Physicians and Surgeons

Dorin Comaniciu <http://comaniciu.net/>, Siemens Corporate Technology

Amnon Shashua <http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~shashua/>, The Hebrew University
