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. Funds will be available to subsize costs for students and postdocs.
