[visionlist] Call for Application: Systems Vision Science Virtual Summer School & Symposium: July 8th – July 31st, 2026

[Pavlovic, Maria]

Systems Vision Science Virtual Summer School & Symposium: July 8th - July
31st, 2026

--------------------------------

 

Applications are invited for a
<https://summerschool.lizhaoping.org/virtual-systems-vision-science-summer-s
chool-symposium-2024/> virtual edition of the Systems Vision Science Summer
School and Symposium that took place in Max Planck Institute for Biological
Cybernetics in Tuebingen, Germany in August 2023
<https://summerschool.lizhaoping.org/editions-in-previous-years/>  and
August 2025 and virtual in 2024.  

This year, the virtual edition enables students to attend from afar by
formal lectures via Zoom and informal and social communications via a Slack
channel.

Systems Vision Science combines computational, behavioral, and neuroscience
methods to discover functions and algorithms for vision in various brain
regions 

and their implementations in neural circuits. This summer school is designed
for everyone interested in gaining a systems level understanding of
biological vision.  

We plan a coherent, graduate-level, syllabus on the integration of
experimental data with theory and models. The syllabus content will be very
similar to the edition in 2024
<https://summerschool.lizhaoping.org/points-policies-prizes/> .
Experience or knowledge in (A) computational methods, (B) visual
psychophysics, and (C) vision neuroscience, is not required. 

However, experience in at least one of (A), (B), and (C), and a readiness to
learn, is expected.

The Summer School will be followed by a Systems Vision Science Virtual
Symposium on July 31st.  All admitted summer school students will be invited
to attend this symposium 

and are encouraged to submit for a presentation at the symposium. The
symposium will also feature two invited keynote presentations.

A certificate of completion of the summer school course will be provided
after the student's successful completion of the summer school.
