               INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND NEUROSCIENCES

Brussels, Belgium

We hope that this action will enable us to answer a number of questions,
among which, "How do neuroscientists store and retrieve information ? Is
'Information Retrieval' of any use to neuroscientists ? Is 'Information
Retrieval' of any use on the network ? How should 'Information Retrieval'
be adapted to probable future needs ?"


The meeting will take place at the :
