Join us for a special edition of the *"Barcelona Cognition, Brain and
Technology summer school - BCBT2019 *" with the* Virtual Brain Cloud
project,*

 to be held 2-13 September 2019, at the Institute of Bioengineering of
Barcelona, Spain.



The BCBT school promotes a shared a systems-level understanding of the
functional architecture of the brain and its possible emulation in
artificial systems.

BCBT caters to students and researchers involved in projects that are in
the ambit of “BIO-ICT convergence,” "Brain Inspired ICT", VR-based Brain
Rehabilitation, “Cognitive and neural systems, Cognitive systems-robotics.”



This is the 12th edition of BCBT, which has run with great success
in previous years thanks to an an excellent line-up of outstanding
speakers including
Nobel Laureate winner Edvard Moser and luminaries in the fields of
neurosciences, psychology, biology, robotics and AI, such as M. Arbib, S.
Grillner, G. Rizzolatti, among many.


For the 2019 edition, we plan a *1st week* of the school addressing
*System-level
understanding of the brain and its emulation in advanced technology. *The
*2nd week* will include presentations aimed at the investigation of *Learning
and Memory, Brain Function, and Behavior**. *The last day of the school is
reserved for the presentation of the student projects.

BCBT will offer up to 30 student slots for the practical workshops, while
as many researchers can register to attend the presentations and discussion
sessions as they are interested.

The atmosphere of the BCBT summer school is informal to stimulate in-depth
discussion. There are 2 or 3 presentations in the morning, with the
afternoons reserved for tutorials and projects for student participants and
senior scientists for further discussion.

*Application deadline: 15 August 2019  *
