The conference covers a wide range of subjects in what has come to be called cognitive science, ranging from visual and auditory physiology and psychophysics to human information processing, cognition, learning and memory, to computational approaches to these problems including neural networks, artificial intelligence, and most recently, brain imaging. The aim is to provide overview talks that are comprehensible and interesting to a wide scientific audience --such as one might fantasize would occur at a National or Royal Academy of Science. The Conference begins with a reception on Sunday evening, February 4, at 5:00p followed by a half-session. Regular sessions meet from Monday through Friday at 4:00p to 8:00p; the rest of the day is free. After the last session on Friday, there is a banquet for participants and guests. Paper submissions are hereby invited. The deadline for submissions is November 3, 2006. In 2007, AIC-32 will feature two sessions on cortical mechanisms (neurons and computation).
