Of interest are models of computation that consist of elementary units of processing using brain circuits and memory elements. Elementary units of computation/processing include population encoding/decoding circuits with biophysically-grounded neuron models, non-linear dendritic processors for motion detection/direction selectivity, spike processing and pattern recognition neural circuits, movement control and decision-making circuits, etc. Memory units include models of spatio-temporal memory circuits, circuit models for memory access and storage, etc. A major aim of the workshop is to explore the integration of various computational sensory and control models.</p></div></div></h1><h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 36px;" class="">Confirmed Invited Speakers</h2><h1 align="center" class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; font-size: 24px; line-height: 36px; color: rgb(48, 48, 48); font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;"><div class="document" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><div class="section" id="confirmed-invited-speakers" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><ul class="simple" style="margin: 0px 0px 1em 18px; padding: 0px;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" class=""><a class="external reference" href="http://www.janelia.org/people/scientist/yoshi-aso" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(8, 78, 128); text-decoration: none;">Yoshi Aso</a>, Janelia Research Campus, Ashburn, VA.</li><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" class=""><a class="external reference" href="http://www.simonsfoundation.org/about-us/staff/staff-bios/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(8, 78, 128); text-decoration: none;">Dmitri "Mitya" B.
