Sorry I didn’t get this out until it already started! (Joe Pater)
E-mail from Hava Siegelmann of June 7th:
Attached is an agenda for a Computational Neuroscience meeting to occur next week at UMass Hotel. We are lucky to have some top researchers join and give talk. If you find these of interest you are welcome to join us to selected talks.
Regards
Hava
