The course is aimed primarily at researchers who wish to exploit neural network models in their teaching and/or research. It will provide a general introduction to connectionist modelling through lectures and exercises on PCs. The instructors with primary responsibility for teaching the course are Kim Plunkett and Edmund Rolls. 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 Summer School is sponsored (jointly) by the University of Oxford McDonnell-Pew Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience and the MRC Brain and Behaviour Centre. The cost of parti- cipation in the summer school is 500 pounds to include accommodation (bed and breakfast at St. John's College) and summer school registration. Participants will be expected to cover their own travel and meal costs. A small number of graduate student scholarships may be available. Applicants should indicate whether they wish to be considered for a graduate student scholarship but are advised to seek their own 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 contact: Mrs. Sue King Department of Experimental Psychology University of Oxford South Parks Road Oxford OX1 3UD Tel: (0865) 271353 Email: sking@uk.ac.oxford.psy Please send a brief description of your background with an explanation why you would like to attend the Summer School (one page maximum) no later than 1 April 1994.
