Subject: Conference on Neurophysiology of Developmental Disorders in Children 2005 From: Gregor Kohls <gregor.kohls(at)ZFN-BRAIN.UNI-FREIBURG.DE> Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 08:45:27 +0200International Conference "Neurophysiology of Developmental Disorders in Children" 2.-3. December 2005 As a result of the positive feedback to our conferences of the past four years, we have decided to organize this year the fifth conference on the Neurophysiology of Developmental Disorders in Children. The conference aims to create an international platform for researchers to present and discuss their current work. As established during the past years the main focus will be on developmental disorders from the neurophysiological point of view.
