Cosyne is an annual meeting providing an inclusive forum for the
exchange of experimental and theoretical approaches to problems in
systems neuroscience. The meeting is expected to draw over 500
researchers from a wide variety of disciplines.

The MAIN MEETING is organized in a single track, and consists of both
oral and poster sessions. Some oral presentations are invited (see
