Every two years, the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, one of the institutes of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, organises a summer school. This year, the subject of the summer school is on procedural learning.
The summer school features lectures from 17 internationally recognised top-level scientists, including a key note lecture by Rui Costa.
The event will gather experts in systems level perceptual and motor learning and dysfunction. Lectures will cover all brain areas involved in procedural learning including cerebral cortex, cerebellum, thalamus and basal ganglia.
