\centerline{\bf SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT}
\sk
   The seminar will bring together experts on various techniques
of functional brain imaging (PET, EEG, MEG, Optical,
and particular emphasis on MRI). It will start with a day of tutorials
at Tel-Aviv University. These will serve as technical and scientific
introductions for participants from different disciplines. It will
continue in a resort hotel at the seashore with plenary lectures,
describing recent advances in all different techniques
and comparing their merits and scientific results.


The number of participants in the workshop will be limited.
