Dear Auditory List Members:

I am posting the following message on the behalf of Bruno
Olshausen.

"Sensory coding and the natural environment"

                      
September 5-10, 2004
                
The Queen's College, Oxford, UK

                     
Bruno Olshausen, Chair
            
Jack Gallant & Mike Lewicki, Vice-chairs


  This conference will bring together researchers from diverse
  disciplines to discuss the statistical structure of natural
scenes,
  and how nervous systems exploit these statistics to form
useful
  representations of the environment.  Topics include
sensory
  neurophysiology, perceptual psychology, and the mathematics
of
  signal statistics, applied to a variety of sensory modalities
and
  organisms.  A list of speakers as well as instructions on how
to
  apply are available at

     
http://www.grc.org/programs/2004/senscod.htm

  Applications will be reviewed in April, at which point
accepted
  applicants may register.  All participants will have the
opportunity
  to present their work in poster sessions.  We hope to have
funds
  available to subsize fees and travel for students and
postdocs.
