Connectionists: IJCNN 2011: Neuroscience & Neurocognitive track (Feb. 1 deadline)

[Yoonsuck Choe]

REMINDER: IJCNN 2011 Submission Deadline is February 1, 2011

IJCNN 2011, to be held in San Jose, California, July 31 - August 5, 2011, is
making a special effort to invite participation from researchers working in
computational neuroscience, cognitive science, neurocognitive models,
neuroengineering and related areas. The conference will feature:

* A special track on "Neuroscience and Neurocognition", where authors can
   submit full papers or abstracts.

* A multi-session symposium featuring invited talks by leading researchers
   in areas covering the spectrum from neurocognitive brain networks
   through computational neuroscience to brain-machine interfaces and
   embodied robotics.

* Special sessions and poster sessions on areas related to neuroscience
   and neurocognition.

If your work falls into any of these areas, we strongly encourage you to
submit papers or abstracts to IJCNN 2011.
