[Comp-neuro] Call for Abstracts: IJCNN 2012 (2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks)

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Neuroscience & Neurocognition

2012 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2012)
Brisbane, Australia
June 10-15, 2012

Following the successful experience of IJCNN11, abstract submissions are invited for a special Neuroscience and Neurocognition
Track at IJCNN 2012. Abstracts must focus on areas broadly related to neurobiology, cognitive science and systems biology,
including - but not limited to - the following:

•    Theory & models of biological neural networks.
•    Computational neuroscience.
•    Computational models of perception, cognition and behavior.
•    Models of learning and memory in the brain.
•    Brain-machine interfaces and neural prostheses.
•    Brain-inspired cognitive models.
•    Neuroinformatics.
•    Neuroevolution and development.
•    Models of neurological diseases and treatments.
•    Systems and computational biology

Recognizing that some of the most exciting current research in neural networks is being done by researchers in neuroscience,
psychology, cognitive science, and systems biology, the abstracts program seeks participation from the broader community of
scientists in these areas by offering an accessible forum for the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas. It will also provide researchers -
especially doctoral students and postdocs - with an opportunity to showcase ongoing research in advance of its publication in
journals.

Abstracts can be submitted through the IJCNN 2012 online submission system at:
http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/ijcnn2012/upload.php?abstract=1

They must be no longer than 500 words plus as many as 4 bibliographic citations. No figures or tables can be included.
 
Unlike full papers, abstracts will receive only limited review to ensure their appropriateness for IJCNN and consistency with the
focus areas of the abstracts program. Authors of accepted abstracts will be guaranteed a poster presentation at the conference
after regular registration. Abstracts will not be included in the conference proceedings, but will be published in the IJCNN 2012
program (including the printed conference book) and on-line at the IJCNN 2012 web site along with abstracts of all presentations.

Important Dates
Abstract Submission : February 1, 2012 - March 15, 2012
Decision Notification : March 20, 2012
