The journal club is loosely focused on mathematical and models as formal theories of cognition, as well as the neurobiological underpinnings of cognition. Beginning in October 2018 we will meet from 12:45-2:00 PM most Fridays and go through Simon Farrell and Stephan Lewandowsky’s book, Computational Modeling of Cognition and Behavior. For best results, students should read the chapter we’re covering each week and bring their laptops to the meeting so we can do any exercises in R.
