To promote the interchange of ideas about principles of neural information processing in the visual system we are organizing a two-day joint symposium with the CIN (Werner Reichardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience, http://www.cin.uni-tuebingen.de/) on June 8 and June 9th. The symposium is titled "Retinal coding in light of clinical applications" and will be held at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen (http://tuebingen.mpg.de/en/facilities/max-planck-house.html). It will start on Wednesday at 2 p.m. (registration opens at 1 p.m.) and the official program ends on Thursday with lunch. The time after lunch is free for discussions.

In addition to the talks we will also have a poster session on Wednesday evening.

The registration fee is 35 Euro. Coffee breaks, as well as dinner on Wednesday and lunch on Thursday will be provided.
