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 Annual Interdisciplinary Conference c/o Prof. George Sperling Department of Cognitive Sciences SSP-A3 University of California Irvine, CA 92697-5100 Email: sperling@uci.edu Submissions are not finally accepted until registration is complete. For information about AIC-29, including hotel information, the previous 28 programs, and *** PHOTOS *** see the AIC website http://www.socsci.uci.edu/HIPLab/AIC 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.
