       5th Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW)


       Connectionist Models in Cognitive Neuroscience

           University of Birmingham, England

     Tuesday 8th September - Thursday 10th September 1998

This workshop is the fifth in a series, following on from the first
at the University of Wales, Bangor (with theme "Neurodynamics and   
Psychology"), the second at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland   
("Memory and Language"), the third at the University of Stirling,
Scotland ("Perception") and the forth at the University College, 
London ("Connectionist  Representations").  The general aim is to 
bring together researchers from such diverse disciplines as artificial
intelligence, applied mathematics, cognitive science, computer 
science, neurobiology, philosophy and psychology to discuss their 
work on the connectionist modelling of psychology.  

This year's workshop is to be hosted by the University of Birmingham. 
As in previous years there will be a theme to the workshop.  
The theme is to  be: 

             Connectionist Models in Cognitive Neuroscience.  

This covers many important issues ranging from modelling 
physiological structure to cognitive function and its disorders (in 
neuropsychological and psychiatric cases).
As in previous years we aim to keep the workshop fairly small, informal
and single track.  As always, participants bringing expertise from 
outside the UK are particularly welcome.

Speakers will include:
 David Plaut, George Houghton, Steve Tipper, Kim Plunkett, 
 David Glasspool, Trevor Harley, Kate Mayall, John Taylor.
