We would like to announce that abstract submission to the BCCN 2009 is now
open.

Abstract submission closes: 17 May 2009 at 23:59 UTC.

We expect high-level contributions and are looking forward to an excellent
single-track program with interesting talks and posters about current
research in Computational Neuroscience and Neurotechnology.

Confirmed invited speakers are:

About the conference:

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 (FIAS), 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.
Best posters, talks, and demonstrations will be awarded with a total sum of
1500 Euros (supported by the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories).

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, and neurotechnology.
This year's meeting will have an emphasis on all aspects of vision.
