               CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT - CALL FOR PAPERS

  The TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE will meet in
Teton Village, Jackson, Wyoming, February 1 - 6, 2004.  The conference
covers a wide range of subjects in what has come to be called cognitive
science, ranging from sensory physiology and psychophysics to human
information processing, cognition, learning and memory, to computational
approaches and physiological approaches to these problems including
neural networks, brain imaging, and artificial intelligence.

  In 2004, in addition to the usual sessions, AIC-29 will feature three
special sessions: Physiological Development (organized by Tony Movshon
and Lynne Kiorpes), Cortical Physiology, and--still in early stages--a
session on Adaptation/Recalibration being organized by Ben Backus.

  Paper submissions are hereby invited. To participate in the special
sessions, send a title and abstract to the appropriate organizer(s) as
well as a copy to the AIC conference organizer (sperling@uci.edu).  All
other submissions need go only to the conference organizer.  All
participants must complete the registration form at the AIC website and
submit it (electronically or hard copy) together with the registration
fee (by check payable to Annual Interdisciplinary Conference) to

  Ideally the conference offers talks that are comprehensible and
interesting to a wide scientific audience --such as one might fantasy
would occur at a National or Royal Academy of Science--in which speakers
provide overviews of current research areas as well as of their own
recent progress.  Attendance is limited by the size of the conference
facility to about 50 persons.

  The Conference begins with a reception on Sunday evening, February 1,
at 5:00p followed by a half-session.   Regular sessions meet from Monday
through Friday from 4:00p to 8:00p; the rest of the day is free.  On
Friday, 8:00p, there is a banquet for participants and guests.
