                CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT - CALL FOR PAPERS

  The THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE will meet in
Teton Village, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, February 4 - 9, 2007.
The conference covers a wide range of subjects in what has come to be
called cognitive science, ranging from visual and auditory physiology
and psychophysics to human information processing, cognition, learning
and memory, to computational approaches to these problems including
neural networks, artificial intelligence, and most recently, brain
imaging.  The aim is to provide overview talks that are comprehensible
and interesting to a wide scientific audience --such as one might
fantasize would occur at a National or Royal Academy of Science.

The Conference begins with a reception on Sunday evening, February 4,
at 5:00p followed by a half-session.  Regular sessions meet from Monday
through Friday at 4:00p to 8:00p; the rest of the day is free.  After the
last session on Friday, there is a banquet for participants and guests.

Paper submissions are hereby invited.  The deadline for submissions is
November 3, 2006.  In 2007, AIC-32 will feature two sessions on cortical
mechanisms (neurons and  computation).  Send a title and abstract to
Tania Pasternak  (and a copy to sperling@uci.edu)
if your submission falls into this category.  All other submissions need
