Computational Behavioral Science is a new scientific discipline which draws equally from computer science and psychology in order to transform the study of human behavior. It aims to create Behavior Imaging (BI) technology for modeling, analyzing, and visualizing social and communicative behavior and apply BI technology to support the diagnosis and treatment of autism and other behavioral and developmental disorders.

The Key Laboratory of Machine Perception (Ministry of Education) in School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University and Department of Psychology, Peking University will together hold up the Computational Behavioral Science Summer School between 13rd and 20th July, 2014 in Peking University, Beijing, China. The Summer School will give Graduate Students and Young Researchers the opportunity to interact with world famous scientists and learn about frontier research in the field of computational behavioral science.

Participants have the opportunity to present their work and discuss ideas in a relaxed and open atmosphere, with plenty of time for interaction between participants.
