Fall Semester 2010-2011
(Pending confirmation) For Spring semester 2010-2011, the Behavioral, Computational, and Systems Neuroscience (BCS) Journal Club will meet on Tuesdays from 12:00 to 1:15 pm in Uris Hall 205.
Papers and notes from previous semesters can be found in the BCS meeting archive.
The overarching theme this semester is Systems of neuronal representation and learning. Adhering to this theme is not required, but is strongly recommended. Please interpret it broadly. It is intended to include such diverse topics as: the systematic regulation of synaptic plasticity, Bayesian representations (including sensory representations as probability estimates), Bayesian and/or energetic optimality in neural encoding or transmission, perceptual learning, decision-making (including reward harvesting), temporal difference learning/dopamine (Schultz model), synaptic rules that give rise to systems-level learning properties.
To add yourself to the BCS-L mailing list, send a plain-text email to bcs-L-request@cornell.edu with the body of the message saying simply join. The subject line doesn't matter. Sending the message leave instead will unsubscribe you from the list. See Cornell's Lyris HowTo page for further details.
Please contact Thomas Cleland or David Smith with any questions.
