                    NEURAL INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS (NIPS)
                               -Natural and Synthetic-
                  Monday, November 30 - Thursday, December 3, 1992
                                  Denver, Colorado

          This is the sixth 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. A
          day of tutorial presentations (Nov 30) will precede  the  regular
          session and two days of focused workshops will follow at a nearby
          ski  area  (Dec  4-5).   Major   categories   and   examples   of
          subcategories for paper submissions are the following;

         Neuroscience:  Studies  and  Analyses   of   Neurobiological
            Systems,  Inhibition in cortical circuits, Signals and noise
            in  neural   computation,   Theoretical   Neurobiology   and
            Neurophysics.

         Theory: Computational Learning  Theory,  Complexity  Theory,
            Dynamical  Systems,  Statistical  Mechanics, Probability and

            Nonlinear Noise Removal.

         Control, Navigation, and Planning: Navigation and  Planning,
            Learning  Internal Models of the World, Trajectory Planning,
            Robotic Motor Control, Process Control.

         Applications: Medical Diagnosis or Data Analysis,  Financial
            and   Economic   Analysis,  Timeseries  Prediction,  Protein

          The technical program will contain plenary, contributed oral  and
          poster  presentations  with  no parallel sessions.  All presented
          papers will be due (January 13, 1993)  after  the  conference  in
          camera-ready  format  and  will  be published by Morgan Kaufmann.
          Submission  Procedures:   Original  research  contributions   are
          solicited,  and  will be carefully refereed.  Authors must submit
          six copies of both a 1000-word (or less) summary and  six  copies
          of  a  separate  single-page 50-100 word abstract clearly stating
          their results postmarked by May 22, 1992  (express  mail  is  not
          necessary).   Accepted   abstracts   will  be  published  in  the
          conference program.  Summaries  are  for  program  committee  use
          only.   At  the  bottom  of  each  abstract page and on the first
          summary page indicate preference for oral or poster  presentation
          and  specify  one  of  the  above  nine  broad categories and, if
          appropriate, sub-categories (For example:  Poster,  Applications-
          Expert   Systems;   Oral,  Implementation-Analog  VLSI).  Include
          addresses of all authors at the front  of  the  summary  and  the
          abstract  and  indicate  to which author correspondence should be
          addressed. Submissions will not be considered that lack  category
          information,  separate  abstract sheets, the required six copies,
          author addresses, or are late.
