About the conference:

The Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) is an annual
meeting of researchers working in Computational Neuroscience and
Neurotechnology. It has grown out of the 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.
