        THE FOURTH ANNUAL COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE MEETING 
                                CNS*95
                      JULY 12   -   JULY 15, 1995

************************************************************************

CNS*95:  Registration is now open for this year's Computational
Neuroscience meeting (CNS*95).  This is the fourth in a series of annual
inter-disciplinary conferences intended to address the broad range of
research approaches and issues involved in the general field of
computational neuroscience.  As in the previous years, this meeting will
bring together experimental and theoretical neurobiologists along with
engineers, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and
mathematicians interested in understanding how biological neural systems
compute.  The meeting will equally emphasize experimental, model-based, and
more abstract theoretical approaches to understanding neurobiological
computation. 

MEETING STRUCTURE:   The meeting will be organized in two parts: three days
of research presentations, and one day of follow up workshops.  Most
presentations will be based on submitted papers, with several presentations
by specially invited speakers. 126 submitted papers have been accepted for
presentation at the meeting based on peer review.  Details on the agenda
can be obtained via ftp, through telnet or on the web as described below.

LOCATION:  The meeting will take place on the Monterey Peninsula on the
coast south of San Francisco, California at the Doubletree Hotel in
downtown Monterey.  This modern hotel is located on  Monterey's historic
Fisherman's Wharf.

MEETING ACCOMMODATIONS:  Accommodations for the meeting have been arranged
at the Doubletree Hotel.  We have reserved a block of rooms at the special
rate for all attendees of $122 per night single or double occupancy in the
conference hotel (that is, 2 people sharing a room would split the $122!).
A fixed number of rooms have been reserved for students at the rate of $99
per night single or double occupancy (yes, that means $50 a night per
student!). These student room rates are on a first-come-first-served basis,
so we recommend acting quickly to reserve these slots.  Each additional
person per room is a $20 charge.  Registering for the meeting, WILL NOT
result in an automatic room reservation.  Instead you must make your own
reservations by returning the enclosed registration sheet to the hotel,
faxing, or by contacting:

the Doubletree Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf
