Ninth
Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop
Modelling Language, Cognition, and Action
The Ninth Neural
Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW9) will be held in Plymouth, England from September 8-10, 2004. Each year
this highly focused conference and lively forum brings together researchers from
such diverse disciplines as psychology, artificial intelligence, cognitive
science, computer science, neuroscience, and philosophy. The special theme of
this year's workshop is Neural Network Modelling of Language, Cognition and
Action. However, paper submissions are not restricted to such topics, but
will regard ALL neural computation models of cognitive and psychological
processes. About 30 papers will be accepted as oral presentations, in addition
to posters. After the conference, participants will be invited to submit a
paper for the post-conference proceedings. This Workshop has always been
characterized by the presentation of high quality papers, its limited size and
by taking place in an informal setting. These features are explicitly designed to
encourage interaction among the researchers present.
This year’s
NCPW conference is sponsored by the BBSRC
(Biotechnology and Biological Research Sciences Council), EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Councils) and The British
Academy Thanks to these sponsorships, there is a limited number of
conference travel grants available.
The conference will
be held at the Sherwell Centre in the main campus of Plymouth University. Plymouth is a vibrant and
cosmopolitan city graced with a setting amongst the finest in Europe, between
the cost and countryside of Devon and Cornwall. The city is easily accessible, with
its own airport, good road and rail links, and a continental ferry port. There
are frequent direct trains between London and Plymouth (about 3:30h). The closest main international
airport is Bristol (about 2 hours from Plymouth). London Heathrow is 4 hours from Plymouth via direct coach services.
