A workshop on Memory Organization and Consolidation,
sponsored by Branco Weiss, will be
held during May 28-30, 1996 at Tel-Aviv University, Israel.
Invited speakers from different disciplines of the
Neurosciences will discuss psychological, neurological, physiological
and computational perspectives of the subject. An informal atmosphere will
be maintained, encouraging questions and discussions.
