>Applications are invited for participation in a 2-week

>modelling.  The course is aimed primarily at researchers who
>wish to exploit neural network models in their teaching and/or
>research and it will provide a general introduction to
>connectionist modelling, biologically plausible neural networks
>and brain function through lectures and exercises on Macintoshs
>and PCs.  The course is interdisciplinary in content though many

>developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience.  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 encourages to start work on their own
>modelling projects during the Summer School.

>The cost of participation in the Summer School is =A3950 for
