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.
