######################## ANNOUNCEMENT ######################
*Summer School in Neurogeometry *
*Organisers* Dmitri Alekseevsky (Russian Academy of Science) Giovanna Citti (University of Bologna) Jean Petitot (CAMS - EHESS) Alessandro Sarti (CAMS - EHESS/CNRS)
*Courses*:
*First week*
*Enrico Le Donne* (University of Jyväskylä): Riemannian and subRiemannian geometry in Lie groups
*Jêrome Ribot* (Collège de France): Physiological properties of neurons in the primary visual cortex
*Second week*
*Davide Barbieri* (Universdad Autonoma de Madrid): Harmonic analysis for modeling visual cortical functions
*Remco Duits* (TU Eindhoven): Orientation score theory and its solutions to cortical PDE, ODE and Wavelet models
*Description*: scope is to provide students at the end of Master classes or at the beginning of PhD school with an introduction to Neurogeometry. Instruments of differential geometry in anisotropic structures and experimental brain data allow to build efficient models of the visual cortex, with applications to image processing. Theoretical courses will be held in the morning and complementary activity in the afternoon.
*Under the sponsorship of*: the Consorzio Interuniversitario per l’Alta Formazione in Matematica (CIAFM), and the Italian Ministery of University and Research (MIUR), and Istituto di Alta Matematica (INdAM), and the European project MANET: FP7PEOPLE2013ITN Project ref. 607643, UNIBO and CAMS – EHESS, Paris
