Workshop on Cognitive Science: From Cellular Circuitry to Computational Cognition

认知科学是对心智和智力的跨学科研究。自1960年左右诞生以来，认知科学已经产生了大量的原理、表示和算法，以及许多成功的应用。这一研究学科在世界大部分地区发展迅速，但也有一些令人惊讶的例外，包括中国。一个研讨会将在中国举行，报告和讨论从细胞电路到计算认知的认知科学研究。研讨会有几个相关的目标：(1)促进国家内部和国家之间在认知科学的多个分支学科之间的交流，这些分支学科在不同层次和使用不同的工具来研究认知；(2)传播定量方法、成功案例和认知科学的跨学科性质；(3)建立合作研究渠道并启动交流计划，以培养下一代认知科学家。这将是中国第一个认知科学研讨会/会议，它将来自广泛的不同但相互联系的子学科的研究人员聚集在一起，寻求跨学科的互动和合作，并为研究生提供联合培训计划。

Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence. Since its birth around 1960, cognitive science has produced an extensive body of principles, representations, and algorithms, as well as many successful applications. This research discipline is advancing rapidly in much of the world, with some surprising exceptions, including China. A workshop will be held in China to report and discuss cognitive science research on topics ranging from cellular circuitry to computational cognition. The workshop has several related aims: (1) promote interchanges within and between countries across multiple sub-disciplines of cognitive science that investigate cognition at different levels and using different tools, (2) disseminate quantitative methods, successes, and the interdisciplinary nature of cognitive science, and (3) establish channels for collaborative research and initiate exchange programs for training the next generation of cognitive scientists. This will be the first workshop/conference on cognitive science in China that brings researchers from a broad spectrum of distinct but connected sub-disciplines together to seek cross-disciplinary interactions and collaborations and joint training programs for graduate students.
