In 1994, the Institute for Neural Computation at UCSD hosted the first
Joint Symposium on Neural Computation with Caltech that brought
together students and faculty for a day of short presentations.  This
year USC will be the site for the fourth Symposium and will feature as
keynote speaker:

                         Prof. Irving Biederman
	      Departments of Psychology and Computer Science 
		      and the Neuroscience Program
		    University of Southern California
                 "Shape Representation in Mind and Brain"

Submissions will be open to members of the Computational Neuroscience
community of Southern California.  Given the larger constituency than
in previous years, authors are invited to contribute 300 word
abstracts, which will be reviewed by a program committee consisting of
the USC organizers and representatives of the INC.  The contributed
program will consist of 15 minute oral presentations, and posters.
Abstracts selected for presentation will be included in the final
program.

           DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ABSTRACTS: March 28, 1997

Submissions should be e-mailed or mailed to Linda Yokote using the
form below.  Notification of acceptance as oral or poster presentation
will be e-mailed to authors by April 18, 1997.

A proceedings of short papers will be published by the INC.
Contributions to the proceedings, based on both oral and poster
presentations, must be submitted no later than May 30, 1997 for timely
publication to: Institute for Neural Computation, University of
California San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive DEPT 0523, La Jolla,
California 92093-0523.  As in previous years, authors will retain
copyright to their papers, so that they may be resubmitted elsewhere.

Registration and attendance at the Symposium is open to the public.
