JAMES S. MCDONNEL FOUNDATION
THIRD ANNUAL SUMMER INSTITUTE IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE
Dartmouth College and Medical School
July 2 - July 13, 1990

The Third Annual Summer Institute will be held from July 2 through 
July 13, 1990.  The two week course will examine how information 
about the brain bears on issues in cognitive science, and how
approaches in cognitive science apply to neuroscience research.  A
distinguished faculty will lecture on current topics in perception and 
language; laboratories and demonstrations will offer practical experience 
with cognitive neuropsychology experiments, connectionist/computational 
modeling, and neuroanatomy.  At every stage, the relationship between 
cognitive issues and underlying neural circuits will be explored.  The 
Institute directors will be Michael Gazzaniga, George A. Miller, Wolf Singer 
and Gordon Shepherd.  Applications are invited from beginning and established 
researchers.  The Foundation is providing limited support for travel expenses 
and room/board.
