Neural Computation will provide a unique interdisciplinary forum
for the dissemination of important research results and for
reviews of research areas in neural computation.

Neural computation is a rapidly growing field that is attracting
researchers in neuroscience, psychology, physics, mathematics,
electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial
intelligence.  Researchers within these disciplines address,
from special perspectives, the twin scientific and engineering
challenges of understanding the brain and building computers. 
The journal serves to bring together work from various
application areas, highlighting common problems and techniques
in modeling the brain and in the design and construction of
neurally-inspired information processing systems.

By publishing timely short communications and research reviews,
Neural Computation will allow researchers easy access to
information on important advances and will provide a valuable
overview of the broad range of work contributing to neural
computation.  The journal will not accept long research
articles.

The fields covered include neuroscience, computer science,
artificial intelligence, mathematics, physics, psychology,
linguistics, adaptive systems, vision, speech, robotics, optical
computing, and VLSI.

Neural Computation is published quarterly by The MIT Press.
