***** FINAL INVITED PROGRAM *****
FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COGNITIVE AND NEURAL SYSTEMS
Tutorials: May 30, 2001
Meeting: May 31 - June 2, 2001
Boston University
http://www.cns.bu.edu/meetings/
This interdisciplinary conference focuses on two fundamental questions:
How Does the Brain Control Behavior?
How Can Technology Emulate Biological Intelligence?
A single oral or poster session enables all presented work to be
highly visible.
Contributed talks will be presented on each of the three conference days.
Three-hour poster sessions with no conflicting events will be held on
two of the conference days. All posters will be up all day, and can also
be viewed during breaks in the talk schedule.
