		THE HUMAN BRAIN PROJECT/NEUROINFORMATICS CONFERENCE 2000
		June 1- 2, 2000 Natcher Conference Center/NIH The current revolution in Information Technology (IT) capabilities offers an unprecedented and welcomed opportunity to better manage neuroscience data and to integrate knowledge about nervous system development and function in health and disease. These goals of the HUMAN BRAIN PROJECT/NEUROINFORMATICS initiative are being accomplished by bridging the concepts and principles derived from both neuroscience and informatics research Neuroinformatics). The 2000 Annual meeting is organized to provide a vital forum for addressing the necessary specifications to logically create such a distributed neuroscience information management system. Objectives: Provide updates on current developments in Neuroinformatics research from Human Brain Project Grantees Present novel or innovative methodological strategies, databases, and tools in Neuroinformatics research Offer new opportunities for investigators to become more informed and involved in the field of Neuroinformatics research.
		The Krasnow Institute Seminar Series 2000
		Each Monday afternoon during the academic year, the Krasnow Institute hosts a seminar at 4:00 p.m. An invited guest speaker gives a presentation on a topic in the cognitive sciences or occasionally a relevant book or topic may be designated for discussion. Presentations are finished by 5:00 p.m. and a discussion period follows. All are welcome. All meetings will be held on the George Mason University Fairfax campus in Lecture Room 229 of the Krasnow Institute building. For more information on directions and parking, call (703) 993-4333. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming Monday Seminars 01-24-00 No seminar--GMU's First day of class 01-31-00 Resource Allocation Analysis of Stochastic Division Search --Slawek Nasuto Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, George Mason University 02-07-00 Functional Imaging, Neurotransmitter Activity and Mind --Robert Shulman Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University 02-14-00 Self-Representing Information Processing and the Relationship of the Material to the Mental Kathryn Blackmond Laskey Systems Engineering and Operations Research Department, George Mason University 02-21-00 Building Forebrains in a Dish: a Central Pacemaker of the Basal Ganglia --Dietmar Plenz National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health 02-28-00 [title to be announced] --Yan M.Yufik Institute of Medical Cybernetics, Inc. 03-06-00 Evolving Intelligence: A Computation Approach --Ken De Jong Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study and Department of Computer Science, George Mason University 03-13-00 No seminar--GMU Spring Break 03-20-00 To be announced 03-27-00 [title to be announced] --Rodolfo Llinas Department of Physiology & Neuroscience, NewYork University School of Medicine 04-03-00 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Microscopy: An Innovative Approach for Monitoring Neuropathology --David Lester Food and Drug Administration 04-10-00 To be announced 04-17-00 Perceived Continutity in Space and Time: Implications for Attention and Perceptual Organization --Steven Yantis Department of Psychology, Johns Hopkins University 04-24-00 To be announced 05-01-00 Auditory Scene Analysis and Spatially-Guided Behavior in the Echolocating Bat --Cynthia Moss Department of Psychology Program in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, University of Maryland
