Summer School Cognitive Neurodynamics Reading

Participate in the Reading Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School 2009 and learn what cognitive neuroscience is about! explore how our brain works! get to know how interdisciplinary research is carried out! study how cognitive processes like language are reflected in the neuron-based brain processes! The Summer School provides the opportunity to spend some days in a stimulating environment at Reading and have fun together with an international range of first class researchers! July 06 - 10, 2009, University of Reading, UK. For more details see Summer School Webpage.

Reading Analytic Workbench Release 1.0

Researchers and developers of the University of Reading have designed the Reading Analytic Workbench (RAW) Reading Analytic Workbench is a web-based computing platform developed at the University of Reading, provides access to the advanced computing clusters run at the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN) and the Department of Mathematics at Reading, offer you a simple way to access a wide range of specialised knowledge and special algorithms developed by researchers and staff of the University. For more details see RAW Access Online.

Studentships available

There are several studentsships available in our working groups, inlcuding one studentship to work on data assimilation for dynamical systems and several studentships in our Cognitive Systems Group at the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN). (These studentships assume British nationality.) For more details see Studentship Data Assimilation Studentships CINN.

Workshop Dynamical Systems in Language

As part of our Cognitive Neuroscience research agenda a two day workshop on Dynamical Systems in Language is organized at the University of Reading, September 08 - 09, 2008. The aim of the workshop is to bridge the gaps between neural computation and symbolic cognition and will focus on issues such as: computational mechanics, grammar classification by dynamical systems, dynamical language processing, connectionist parsing, dynamical field approaches to symbolic cognition. For more details see Workshop Webpage.

Special Issue of Cognitive Neurodynamics

Peter beim Graben, Doug Saddy and Roland Potthast are editors for a special issule of the new Springer Journal Cognitive Neurodynamics. The task is to collect recent developments in cognitive neurodynamics, for example the representation of cognitive processes via dynamic fields. The issue is scheduled for the second half of 2008 to appear.
