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.
