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 Session Scientific Committe: Eduardo M.
