Connectionists: NIPS2011 satellite meeting on causal graphs -- program and registration open

[Daniele Marinazzo]

Good morning, and apologies for cross posting.

The program of the talks for NIPS 2011 satellite meeting on Causal
Graphs - Linking brain structure to function is now complete (see
below).

Registrations are open, poster submissions are welcome.

The full list of abstracts and all the relevant information can be
found on NIPS website (http://nips.cc/SatelliteMeetings)
