Organization of Annual Meeting of International Neural Network Society

请求支持召开一次关于神经网络主题的国际会议。这门学科涉及行为和大脑过程的建模，以及神经建模概念在技术问题中的应用。这些主题在视觉和图像处理、感觉-运动控制和机器人、联想学习、自组织和认知信息处理等研究领域提供了许多刺激。这次会议由国际神经网络协会主办，该协会由来自不同学科(工程学、心理学、神经科学、数学、计算机科学和物理学)的研究人员组成。会议的一个主要目标是鼓励学生和年轻教师了解这一领域并为其做出贡献；NSF的资金将用于为他们提供旅行补助。

Support is requested for an international conference on the subject of neural networkds. This subject deals with the modeling of behavioral and brain processes, and the application of neural modeling concepts to technological problems. Those topics have provided much stimulus in research areas such as vision and image processing, sensory-motor control and robotics, associative learning, self-organization, and cognitive information processing. The Conference is sponsored by the International Neural Network Society, which comprises researchers from diverse disciplines (engineering, psychology, neuroscience, mathematics, computer science, and physics). A principal goal of the meeting is to encourage students and younger faculty to learn about and contribute to the field; the NSF funds will be used to provide travel grants for them.
