Attendence will be limited. Scientists developing databases in brain and/or
behavior will receive preference. Applications must be received by September
15, 1994. Fill out the  following application form to apply.

An Advisory Board was recruited to provide external critique of the BrainMap
concept, its implementation, and overall organization of the project.
