applications in the following broad areas:
- Computational neuroscience;
- Connectionist cognitive science;
- Data analysis and pattern recognition;
- Graphical network models, Bayesian networks;
- Hardware implementations and embedded systems;
- Intelligent Multimedia and the Semantic Web;
- Neural and hybrid architectures and learning algorithms;
- Neural control, planning and robotics applications;
- Neural dynamics and complex systems;
- Neuroinformatics;
- Real world applications;
- Self-organization;
- Sequential and structured information processing;
- Signal and time series processing, blind source separation;
- Vision and image processing.
