Sensory Coding and the Natural Environment Gordon ConferenceThis award supports an international meeting on the properties of complex natural environmental stimuli, and the encoding and processing of these stimuli by biological systems. The theme of the meeting is highly interdisciplinary, and the organizers seek to draw attendees from a variety of backgrounds to promote cross-fertilization, including systems and cognitive neuroscience, perceptual psychology, statistics, signal processing, and computer science.The meeting has three fundamental components that are of central importance to the development of robust machine intelligence: the development of sophisticated (i.e., non-Gaussian) source models; identification, codification, and exploitation of principles for biological processing of diverse and complex sensory patterns; and neural decoding-- the extraction of information about the sensory world directly from the spiking activity of single cells or populations of cells. This topic has direct application to brain-computer interfaces and robotic control of movement. The meeting will help fulfill the need to educate both students and current investigators about the techniques, methodologies, and types of results emerging from this field.

感觉编码和自然环境戈登会议该奖项支持关于复杂自然环境刺激的性质以及生物系统对这些刺激的编码和处理的国际会议。会议的主题是高度跨学科的，组织者寻求吸引来自各种背景的与会者，以促进交叉施肥，包括系统和认知神经科学，感知心理学，统计学，信号处理和计算机科学。会议有三个基本组成部分，对强大的机器智能的发展至关重要：复杂的（即，非高斯）源模型;识别、编纂和利用各种复杂感觉模式的生物处理原理;以及神经解码--直接从单个细胞或细胞群的尖峰活动中提取关于感觉世界的信息。本主题直接应用于脑机接口和机器人运动控制。 会议将有助于满足需要，教育学生和当前的研究人员有关的技术，方法和类型的结果出现在这个领域。
