Dynamic Field Theory is a framework for understanding how the brain gives rise to thinking in real time, and how cognitive decisions leave memory traces that are the basis for learning and development.  The Summer School will provide an overview of DFT, using a new text Dynamic Thinking – A Primer on Dynamic Field Theory.

The school will be led by Prof. John P. Spencer.  Prof Spencer will lecture on the concepts of DFT from 9-10.30 each day.  This will be followed by a second guest lecture on exemplary case studies from 11-12.  Afternoon sessions from 2-4 will provide hands-on training working with DF models in COSIVINA, an interactive simulation environment.  Students will develop their own projects during the school to learn how to apply the concepts of DFT to their home domain of interest.

To apply, send a 2-page CV and brief cover letter describing why you want to attend the school to: SSF.AdvancedTraining@uea.ac.uk. Additional details including information on fees can be found at www.dynamicfieldtheory.org/engage.
