Geek On Conference: Application of Chaos Mathematics in Psychological Research

(La Foresta, Belgium, 22nd May - 1st April)

This is an ultimate ERASMUS training. Fifty PhD students from 12 different universities and 14 professors closed in old monastery (now converted into conference center) for 10 days. We will try to figure out how to apply non-linear dynamic systems, catastrophe theory and Bayesian modeling in psychological research. Every day there are 10 hours of workshops, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions. It is hard. Extremely hard. But the interdisciplinary mix of people from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, mathematics and computing are making it a unique workshop.

We only arrived today, but I will report regularly from La Foresta to update you on this amazing and strange training.
