Satellite Symposium at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting

DYNAMICAL NEUROSCIENCE IX:
Timing, Persistence and Feedback Control

Room 11 A&B
San Diego Convention Center
San Diego, California

Friday and Saturday, November 9-10, 2001

FEEDBACK is an inherent feature of all systems that adapt to their internal
and external environments. In this year's meeting we will explore the
convergence of theoretical work and experimental data on neuronal
computations that highlight the feedback requirement for the systematic
operation of the nervous system. This will be covered at the level of both
transient and steady-state phenomena. Invited speakers will discuss how
feedback (along with other control mechanisms) regulates the temporal
processing of auditory and somatosensory information, plasticity, learning,
and the balance of feedback controls that underlie the formation of
receptive fields. Further topics will include the control of neuronal
dynamics involved with sensorimotor tasks, such as the stabilization of
eye and head position, and the temporal pattern of exploratory whisking in
rat. The work presented at this year's meeting will center on the theme of
how abstract analytical models can be used in focusing the direction of new
experiments.

Organizers: Dennis Glanzman, NIMH, NIH; David Kleinfeld, UCSD; Sebastian
Seung, MIT; and Misha Tsodyks, Weizmann Institute.

Invited Speakers: Ehud Ahissar, Margaret Livingstone, Cynthia Moss, Israel
Nelken, Alexa Riehle, Robert Shapley, Patricia Sharp, Haim Sompolinsky,
David Tank, Ofer Tchernichovski, and Kechen Zhang.

Keynote Address: Bard Ermentrout
