Call For Papers

Session: Information Coding Mechanisms in the Brain
Conference: INTERNATIONAL WORK-CONFERENCE ON THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN NATURAL AND
ARTIFICIAL COMPUTATION (http://www.iwinac.uned.es/)
Canary Islands (Spain)
June 15 ­ 18 2005

Dear Colleagues:

It is our pleasure to announce the pre-organized session entitled ?Information
Coding Mechanisms in the Brain? of the International Work-Conference on the
Interplay between Natural and Artificial Computation (IWINAC-2005). You can 
find
further details (topics, motivation, submission, etc.) in the following 
website:

http://www-gsi.dec.usc.es/iwinac05/iwinac05_coding_topics.htm

Session topics:

The workshop welcomes both experimental and computational work, emphasizing
multidisciplinary papers, in order to present new experimental evidences and
discuss the proposed theoretical frameworks. Topics of interest include 
(but are
not limited to):

* Models and experimental results in sensory systems
* Synchronization mechanisms underlying neural coding
* Population coding
* Redundant versus compact codes
* Specificity versus generality of neural codes among sensory systems
* Spatiotemporal coding

Papers on information coding in the auditory system are particularly welcome.


Session and Conference Key dates:

* February 15, 2005: Deadline for electronic submission
* April 1, 2005: Notification of acceptance or rejection
* June 15-18, 2005: IWINAC conference
