Silver Anniversary Meeting
TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
Teton Village, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
January 13 - 28, 2000
Organizer: George Sperling, University of California, Irvine
CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT - CALL FOR PAPERS
The TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE will meet in
Teton Village, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, January 23 - January 28, 2000.
The conference covers a wide range of subjects in what has come to be
called cognitive science, ranging from visual and auditory physiology
and psychophysics to human information processing, cognition, learning
and memory, to computational approaches to these problems including
neural networks and artificial intelligence. The aim is to provide
overview talks that are comprehensible and interesting to a wide
scientific audience --such as one might fantasize would occur at a
National or Royal Academy of Science. Attendance is limited by the
size of the conference facility to about 60 persons.
The Conference begins with a reception on Sunday evening, January 23,
at 5:00p followed by a half-session. Regular sessions meet from Monday
through Friday from 4:00p to 8:00p; the rest of the day is free. On
Friday, 8:00p, there is a banquet for all the participants.
To submit a talk, complete the electronic registration form at the
AIC website (it will request a title and a brief abstract) or submit
this information directly to < sperling@uci.edu >

THREE FACULTY POSITIONS IN COGNITIVE SCIENCES - University of California, IRVINE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UCI continues to move forward (two Nobel Prizes in 1995), a new Chancellor
in 1998 (Ralph Cicerone, a distinguished atmospheric chemist and member NAS),
and the Department of Cognitive Sciences is flourishing.
Three new faculty appointments were made recently: Charles Chubb, perception
and mathematical psychology; Gregory Hickock, language, brain imaging, and
neuropsychology; and Gavin Huntley- Fenner, cognitive development. For
1999-2000, the Department of Cognitive Sciences is advertising three
additional faculty appointments in broadly defined areas of Cognitive
Sciences. The Department plans to make additional junior and senior faculty
appointments in subsequent years.
