                  THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM
                  THE CENTER FOR NEURAL COMPUTATION

                     LEARNING DAYS IN JERUSALEM
    Workshop on Fundamental Issues in Biological and Machine Learning

			May 30 - June 4, 1993 
		Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel

The Center for Neural Computation at the Hebrew University is a new multi-
diciplinary research center for collaborative investigations of the principles 
underlying computation and information processing in the brain and in neuron-
like artificial computing systems.  The Center's activities span theoretical 
investigations of neural networks in physics, biology and computer science;
experimental investigations in neurophysiology, psychophysics and cognitive 
psychology; and applied research on software and hardware implementations. 


The first international symposium sponsored by the Center will be held in the 
spring of 1993, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.  It will focus on 
theoretical, experimental and practical aspects of learning in natural and 
artificial systems.


Topics for the meeting include:
* Theoretical Issues in Supervised and Unsupervised Learning
* Neurophysiological Mechanisms Underlying Learning
* Cognitive Psychology and Learning Psychophysics
* Applications of Machine and Neural Network Learning


Invited speakers include:
Moshe Abeles (Hebrew Univ.)              Roni Agranat (Hebrew Univ.)
Ehud Ahissar (Weizmann Inst.)            Asher Cohen (Hebrew Univ.)
