--Apple-Mail-48--157894499 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Special Session on Biologically-Inspired Multimedia Signal Processing The 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA=9212)=20 3th-5th July 2012 Montreal, Canada. Although significant progress has been made in the field of signal = processing in the past decades, the capability of humans to analyze = sensory signals largely outperform conventional signal processing = methods. This difference in performance is even more pronounced in the = fields such as vision, pattern recognition, auditory scene analysis, = sound source separation and information coding. The superority of the = human processing over conventional signal processing techniques is = mainly due to the the fact that the human brain treats the sensory = signals very differently. The human cognition relies on spiking neurons, = heavily inter-connected neural networks, hierarchy, sparsity, and = synchrony to analyze and decode sensory inputs. The aim of this ISSPA=9212 special session is to present the latest = theoretical and practical advances in the field of biologically-inspired = multimedia signal processing. Submissions are invited for the areas of = biologically-inspired signal processing methods for audio, video and = image applications or theoretical advances in biologically-inspired = information coding. Prospective authors are invited to submit full length (six pages) papers = following the formatting guidelines available in the author-kit = at"http://www.synchromedia.ca/isspa2012/en/submission.html" . All papers = submitted to this session must include a clear link to the topic of the = session. All papers will be subjected to a blind peer-review process by = the conference technical program committee and review board. To = facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the paper = should contain only the title and abstract. All accepted papers will be included in the ISSPA 2012 Conference = Proceedings. All papers accepted will be included in IEEE Xplore. = Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present their = papers at the Conference.
