 	IJCNN 2011 Neuroscience Abstracts: due by March 10, 2011.


2011 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2011)
San Jose, California
July 31 - August 5, 2011

IJCNN 2011 Abstract Submission is Still Open
----------------------------------------------------------

IJCNN will continue to accept abstracts for the special track in areas 
related to computational neuroscience and cognitive systems until March 
10, 2011.

For details on submission and rules for abstracts, please see:

http://www.ijcnn2011.org/submission.php

Areas of interest for abstracts include but are not limited to:

- Biological neural networks - theory & models.
- Computational neuroscience.
- Neurocognitive networks.
- Computational models of perception, cognition and behavior.
- Models of learning and memory.
- Models of social cognition and behavior.
- Brain-machine interfaces and neural prostheses.
- Brain-inspired cognitive models.
- Embodied cognitive systems.
- Neuroinformatics.
- Neuroevolution and development.
- Models of neurological diseases and treatments.
- Systems and computational biology

Accepted abstracts will be guaranteed a poster presentation at the 
conference. The authors of a limited number of exceptionally high-quality 
abstracts will be invited to give oral presentations, and possibly to 
submit full papers for the IJCNN 2011 special issue of the Elsevier 
journal, Neural Networks.

Unlike full papers, abstracts will receive only limited review to ensure 
their appropriateness for IJCNN and consistency with the focus areas of 
the abstracts program. Abstracts will not be included in the conference 
proceedings, but will be published on-line by the International Neural 
Network Society along with abstracts for all presentations at IJCNN 2011.

In addition to contributed talks and posters, special sessions, panels, 
competitions, tutorials and workshops, IJCNN 2011 will feature:

- Plenary talks by Michael Arbib, Leon Glass, Dharmendra Modha, Andrew Ng, 
Stefan Schaal, Juergen Schmidhuber - with more invited speakers to be 
confirmed.

- A special, day-long symposium called "From Brains to Machines" with 
invited talks by leading researchers (sponsored by the National Science 
Foundation).

Please contact the Program Chair, Hava Siegelmann 
(ijcnn2011 at inns-conf.org) or the General Chair, Ali Minai 
(Ali.Minai at uc.edu) if you need further information.
