[Eeglablist] Call for abstract submission> Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience (BCCN*2009)

[Dr. Gordon Pipa]

Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience (BCCN*2009)
http://bccn2009.org/

The Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) strives to be
the major European Conference on Computational Neuroscience and
Neurotechnology. It has grown out of the annual Symposium of the German
National Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience, which has been
held since 2005. Now in its 5th year, organized by the Frankfurt Institute
for Advanced Studies, it has been opened as an international conference. We
expect around 300 international participants from the areas of Cognitive
Science, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Physics, Machine Learning,
Mathematics, Engineering and related fields. Selected abstracts will be
published in the Journal Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience.

The meeting is open for contributions from all relevant areas of
computational neuroscience including, but not limited to:
learning and plasticity, sensory processing, motor control, reward system,
brain computer interface, neural encoding and decoding, decision making,
information processing in neurons and networks, dynamical systems and
recurrent networks, neurotechnology.
This year's meeting will have an emphasis on all aspects of vision.
