Week-by-week curriculum
Six teams, six brain mysteries
The Moving Enigma Illusion
“How can a stationary image produce neural signals interpreted as movement?”
Seeing a Face but Not the Person
“How can face detection remain intact while face identity recognition fails?”
Selective Memory Loss in Alzheimer's Disease
“Why are some stored memories more vulnerable than others?”
Mood as an Attractor
“How can a temporary emotional change become a persistent mood state?”
Parkinsonian Freezing at a Doorway
“Why might a narrow doorway cause an interruption of otherwise successful walking?”
ADHD and Excessive Exploration
“Could apparently inconsistent behaviour arise from an agent that explores too much?”
What you'll walk away with
Guided Live Sessions
Covering neuroscience, mathematics, Python and computational modelling
Research Teams
Two teams per computational approach
Weeks
From foundations to symposium presentation
