Congratulations to Dr. André Klapper for succesfully defending his PhD thesis called Social Categorization in Connectionist Networks. Very well done, indeed!

Jeroen's experience at the Brain Camp in Santa Barbara, California

This summer (26 June - 7 July) I attended the Kavli Summer Institute in Cognitive Neuroscience, or Brain Camp for short . This annual two-week summer school brings together 70 PhD students and postdocs from around the world at the University of California, Santa Barbara, for a high-intensity curriculum featuring state-of-the-art talks about two central themes, hands-on workshops, and social activities. The second week’s theme was Computational perspectives on the brain in psychiatric and neurological disorders. These lectures, curated by Ray Dolan and Robb Rutledge, featured a lot of inspiring decision-making and modeling research. And the ‘networking opportunities’ in the evenings and weekends were excellent too. I made a bunch of new friends in the field and wholeheartedly recommend Brain Camp to everyone!
