[Information Theory and the Brain II]

			First call for papers: 

		Information Theory and the Brain II

		To be held on the 20-21st of September, 
		Headland Hotel, Newquay, Cornwall, England.

	     http://www.mrc-bbc.ox.ac.uk/~itb2/conference.html

This is the sequal to the conference held in Stirling, Scotland
last year. Presentations on any topic relating ideas from either
information theory or statistics, to the operation on the brain are
welcomed. It is hoped that an informal atmosphere can be maintained in
the plesant surroundings that Newquay provides.

This year the conference will be held in the Cornish town of
Newquay. Apart from being one of the best areas for surfing in Europe,
the surrounding countryside is amongst the most beautiful in
Britain. The conference will be held in the spectacular Headland Hotel
right next to the famous Fistral Beach and in mid September the water
is at its warmest, the surf is starting to get larger, and the summer
holiday crowds have headed home.
