We are delighted to welcome applications for the third annual Methods in Neuroscience at Dartmouth (MIND) Computational Summer School. This year's 2019 MIND summer school will be on Cognitive Maps. Cognitive maps are most commonly associated with the representation and navigation of physical space, but the concept of a map is more generally concerned with how experience is organized to form knowledge. Tantalizingly, it seems that the neural encoding of physical space may also underlie the organization of conceptual and social spaces. The 2019 MIND Computational Summer School will provide participants with the tools to study what principles govern the learning, organization, and application of such maps, and to probe their neural underpinnings.
