Hi Chris,
It looks like your message made it to FRIAM Tuesday morning. Sometimes
the poster doesn't receive a copy of the email. You would think it
would be more deterministic, but that's the nature of our listserv
beast :-)
Looks like a great conference. I just registered.
BTW, funding for SFComplex was approved by the City Council tonight!
Good news.
-Steve

Greetings
This invitation is extended to all participants in the Cognitive
Systems Workshop series hosted by Sandia National Laboratories from
2003-2006. You are cordially invited to attend the Fourth Decade of
the Mind Conference to be held at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort
and Spa near Albuquerque, NM 13-15 January 2009. The conference,
subtitled “Reverse Engineering the Brain: Sowing the Seeds for
Technology Innovation,” will explore recent scientific advances in
brain science and application of this science to create new
technologies.
The single-track program will bring together talks by scientists,
combined with opportunities for discussion, concerning the potential
benefits and hurdles of reverse engineering of the brain,
computational and theoretical neuroscience, cognitive modeling, and
cognitive-science applications. Furthermore, the conference will
also bring together noted scholars to address current trajectories
of neuroscientific research, indentify the boundaries of what is
known at the frontiers of neuroscience and technology, and address
the ethical, legal and social issues that are critical to the Decade
of the Mind project.
More information, including online registration, can be found on the
Web site: http://dom-4.org/
The conference committee also invites posters where scientists can
present their current research and ideas during an evening session.
Travel grants are available for students, post-docs, and junior
faculty, with priority given to applicants who are presenting posters.
