NEURAL INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS: NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC
	
Conference: Monday, December 2 - Thursday, December 5, 1991; Denver, Colorado
Workshop:   Friday, December 6 - Saturday, December 7, 1991; Vail, Colorado

This is the fifth meeting  of  an  inter-disciplinary conference
which   brings   together  neuroscientists, engineers,  computer
scientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and  mathematicians
interested  in  all aspects of neural processing and computation.
There will be an afternoon  of  tutorial  presentations  (Dec  2)
preceding the  regular session and two days of focused workshops will
follow at a nearby ski area (Dec 6-7). The meeting is sponsored by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Information Theory
Group, the Society for Neuroscience, and the American Physical
Society.

Plenary, contributed, and poster sessions will be  held.   There will be
no parallel sessions.  The full text of presented  papers will be
published. Topical categories include: Neuroscience; Theory;
Implementation and Simulations; Algorithms and Architectures; Cognitive
Science and AI; Visual Processing; Speech and Signal Processing;
Control, Navigation, and Planning; Applications.

The format of the workshop is informal.  Beyond reporting on past
research, the goal is to provide a forum for scientists actively
working in the field to freely discuss current issues of  concern and
interest. Sessions  will  meet  in  the morning and in the afternoon
of both days, with free time in between for the ongoing individual
exchange or outdoor activities.  Specific open and/or controversial
issues are encouraged  and  preferred  as  workshop topics.

The deadline for submission of abstracts and workshop proposals is May
17th, 1991. For further information concerning the conference contact
