by Gary Green

Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience (BCCN*2009) http://bccn2009.org/ We would like to announce that abstract submission to the BCCN 2009 is now open. Abstract submission closes: 17 May 2009 at 23:59 UTC. We expect high-level contributions and are looking forward to an excellent single-track program with interesting talks and posters about current research in Computational Neuroscience and Neurotechnology. Confirmed invited speakers are: Jozsef Fiser (Brandeis) Wulfram Gerstner (EPFL) Amiram Grinvald (Weizmann) Gilles Laurent (Caltech) Klaus Obermayer (BCCN Berlin) Mriganka Sur (MIT) About the conference: The Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) strives to be the major European Conference on Computational Neuroscience and Neurotechnology. It has grown out of the annual Symposium of the German National Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience, which has been held since 2005. Now in its 5th year, organized by the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS), it has been opened as an international conference. We expect around 300 international participants from the areas of Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Physics, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Engineering and related fields. Selected abstracts will be published in the journal Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience. Best posters, talks, and demonstrations will be awarded with a total sum of 1500 Euros (supported by the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories). The meeting is open for contributions from all relevant areas of computational neuroscience including, but not limited to: learning and plasticity, sensory processing, motor control, reward system, brain computer interface, neural encoding and decoding, decision making, information processing in neurons and networks, dynamical systems and recurrent networks, and neurotechnology. This year's meeting will have an emphasis on all aspects of vision.

hygiene

by Gary Green

Dear Colleagues As you know the WHO has announced that a flu pandemic is imminent. Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone who uses YNiC that as a clinical facility we have to be especially vigilant with respect to hygiene. Please use the antiseptic gel dispensers, to clean your hands, on entry and exit from the MRI and MEG corridors. This is both for protection of you and the participants. thanks -- Gary Green Director York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004

Aims The aim of the conference is to present the current status of research into the neurobiology of language, at the crossroads of neuroscience, linguistics, and experimental psychology. Topics will relate to the neural mechanisms underlying perceptual, cognitive, motor, and linguistic processes used to produce and to understand language in both children and adults. The conference will feature poster and slide presentations as well as keynote presentations by several of the field's most distinguished researchers. The Committee NLC is organized by an international committee of experts on Language Neurobiology, including Jeffrey Binder, Sheila Blumstein, Laurent Cohen, Angela Friederici, Vincent Gracco, Peter Hagoort, Marta Kutas, Alec Marantz, David Poeppel, Cathy Price, Kunioshi Sakai, Riitta Salmelin, Bradley Schlagger, and Richard Wise, under the supervision of Steven L.

Downtime

by Mark Hymers

Dear all, Due to the need to do some systems maintanence, YNiC will be shutting at 5pm on Thursday evening (16th) and all computers (including the cluster) will be temporarily switched off. We will re-open as normal on Friday morning (17th). This means that no cluster jobs will be able to be left running on Thursday night and all open plan desktops will be logged out. This does not affect the Psychology email server. Apologies for the short notice and inconvenience. Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre
