The Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting

July 18-22, 1999, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

CNS*1999 General Information

CNS*99 will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, July 18-22, 1999, and is sponsored in part by the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.

This is the eighth in a series of annual inter-disciplinary conferences intended to address the broad range of research approaches and issues involved in the general field of computational neuroscience.

As in the previous years, this meeting will bring together experimental and theoretical neurobiologists along with engineers, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and mathematicians interested in understanding how biological neural systems compute. The meeting will equally emphasize experimental, model-based, and more abstract theoretical approaches to understanding neurobiological computation.

The conference will be held at the Hilton Pittsburgh & Towers, located next to Point State Park. The banquet on July 22 will be part of a three-hour dinner cruise on the Gateway Clipper Party Liner.

Pittsburgh has a rich history, including such famous figures as George Washington, and Andrew Carnegie, and thre are plenty of things to do in Pittsburgh!
