Connectionists: Symposium Program and call for participation for 2nd Beijing International symposium on computational neuroscience July 22nd.

[Dr Zhaoping Li]

Dear All,

The schedule and program,  for this international symposium on 
computational neuroscience, to be held in Tsinghua University in Beijing, 
on July 22nd, are now ready.

See http://cns.med.tsinghua.edu.cn/biscon10/program

We have an exciting program, with four very interesting oral presentations 
by leading scientists

Larry Abbott,
Wu Li,
Dan Kersten,
Peter Dayan

in the field, and about 30 poster contributions from researchers coming 
from computational and/or experimental backgrounds.  The symposium is 
organized such that, in addition to oral presentations, there will be 
plenty of opportunities for participants to communicate with each other 
informally, through tea/coffee, poster sessions, on-site lunch, open panel 
discussions,  (informal) banquet and other social events.
The topics in the presentations include vision, audition, neural circuits 
and networks, neural coding, reinforcement learning, experimental data 
analysis, etc.

Symposium participation is free (other than the optional banquet) but 
space for participation is limited by the size of the venue. For 
participation, please register as soon as possible at 
http://cns.med.tsinghua.edu.cn/biscon10/registration

organization, see symposium homepage:
