22nd CVS Symposium 2000
NEURAL CODING
June 1 - 3, 2000

One of the fundamental difficulties in understanding the neural basis of
perception/cognition is understanding the computational or informational
significance of neural activity. This is true at all levels: from
individual synapses and neurons, to local circuits and large-scale
organization. The enormous complexity of the brain and the behavior it
generates demands more sophisticated development of theories of neural
coding and communication on a large scale.
In the tradition of past CVS Symposia, our goal is to bring recent
developments in this fundamentally important topic to a broader audience
than that captured by more specialized meetings. We have designed the
symposium to bring together leading scientists with diverse perspectives to
provide an opportunity for cross-fertilization and interaction that is not
usually available.
PROGRAM FOR THE MEETING
Thursday, June 1
I. Information Coding in Spike Trains
II. Early Circuits
Friday, June 2
III. Coding Experience: development and plasticity
IV. Functional specialization and distributed codes
Saturday, June 3
V. Large Scale information flow.
