Utah's First Annual Cognitive Science Lecture

[Jerome Soller]

	The speaker at the First Annual Utah Cognitive Science Lecture
is Dr. Andreas Andreou of the Johns Hopkins University Electrical 
Engineering Department.  His topic is "A Physical
Model of the Retina in Analog VLSI That Explains Optical Illusions".
This provides a contrast to Dr. Carver Mead of Caltech, who spoke 
earlier this year in Utah at the Computer Science Department's Annual
Organick Lecture.
	The time and date of the First Annual Cognitive Science Lecture will 
be Tuesday, April 2nd, 4:00 P.M.   The room will be 101 EMCB(next to the
Merrill Engineering Building), University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.  A 
small reception(refreshments) will be available.  This event is cosponsored 
by the Sigma Xi Resarch Fraternity.  Dr. Dick Normann, Dr. Ken Horch, 
Dr. Dick Burgess, and Dr. Phil Hammond were extremely helpful in organizing 
this event.  
	For more information on this event and other Cognitive Science related
events in the state of Utah, contact me (801)-581-4710 or by e-mail(preferred)
(soller at cs.utah.edu) .  We have an 130 person electronic mailing list within
the state of Utah announcing these kind of events.  We are also finishing
up this year's edition of the Utah Cognitive Science Information Guide,
which contains 80 faculty, 60 graduate students, 60 industry representatives,
32 courses, and 25 research groups from the U. of Utah, BYU, Utah State
and local industry.  A rough draft can be copied by anonymous ftp from
/usr/spool/ftp/pub/guide.doc from the cs.utah.edu machine.  A final draft
in plain text and a Macintosh version(better format) will be on the ftp
site in about 2 weeks.
