	Satellite Workshop of ICONIP*98

    Workshop for Young Researchers on Information Processing
		in the Central Nervous System 
	--- Experimental and Theoretical Studies ---

			October 24-26, 1998

Site
	Hiko-san Seminar House (Tentative)

Aim

	This workshop is a satellite meeting of ICONIP'98-Kitakyushu 
	to be held in Kitakyushu, Japan, on October 21-23, 1998. 
	In this workshop, invited talks by young researchers in 
	the field of neuroscience and talks by young authors 
	selected from among those who submitted papers to 
	ICONIP'98 will be given. The talks will cover a broad 
	range of topics in the field of neuroscience to promote 	
interdisciplinary interactions and to familiarize the 
	participants with a wide range of experimental and 
	theoretical methodologies. About one hour and 30 minutes 
	is assigned to each talk to allow in-depth discussion, 
	which benefits both the speakers and audience, namely, 
	better understanding of the talks for the audience and 
	possible improvement of the paper for the speaker. 
	Approximately 40 researchers will be able to participate. 
	The organizer will provide partial support for room and 
	board. The workshop will run from morning to evening every 
	day and informal discussion will follow at night.! 
	The organizers expect the attendance to exchange information 
	and build new friendships through the workshop. 

Topics

	Information processing in single cells 
	Sensory information processing/ 
	Learning and memory / Motor learning and adaptive control/
	Computational perspective / Methodology for data analysis / 
	Hardware implementation 

Application

	A young author who is interested in participating in the 
	workshop should mark "WS" in red on all six copies of the 
	manuscript of his or her paper submitted to ICONIP'98, or 
	contact the workshop organizer as follows:

\subsection{Layout Specification}

You should use letter size or A4 size paper that will be
 printed exactly as received. Keep the top and left margins as
specified. Detailed size specifications for the layout are given
below.

It is important that your printer produces clean, high quality output,
since there will be no sharpness enhancing reduction of what you
provide.  Do not use a dot matrix or other low quality printer. If a
suitable printer is not available, you can type or print your paper at
a larger size and reduce it on a photocopying machine to the specified
dimensions.

All materials (text and illustrations) must appear within a bounding
box that is 180mm wide and 215 mm high (7.1" x 8.4") area. Noting
outside this area will be printed. The bounding box should be placed
in the center of the paper, with equal sized left and right margins,
and equal sized top and bottom margins.
Indicate the order of your pages by numbering them at the back using a
light pencil.

Text should appear in two columns, each about 86 mm wide with a 6 mm
space between the columns. On the first page, the top 47 mm (1.8") of
both columns is reserved for the title, author(s) and affiliations(s).
These items should be centered across both columns, starting at
approximately 18 mm (0.7") from the top. On the second page, the text or
illustrations start at approximately 18 mm (0.7") from the top.

\subsection{Writing Style and Other Hints}

It is sometimes difficult to describe your research work in detail and
stay within 4 pages. However, by proper organization of the text you
will be surprised how much information you can present. Emphasize the
presentation of your new contributions. Background information and
previous work can be summarized in a few lines accompanied by the
proper references.

Obvious errors or typos can easily be avoided and yet are often over
looked. Some useful hints are given below. Try to have others who are
familiar with the topic, but not necessarily a co-author, proofread
the text. Also the use of spelling checkers can be quite useful. If
English is not your nat ive language, try to have a native English
speaker or a professional English editor proofread your text.
