This fee covers the workshop attendance incl. coffee, buffet on the first day, and the conference dinner. </p> <p>The goal of the OCCAM workshop series is to foster our understanding of mechanisms and principles of information processing in self-organized hierarchical and recurrent systems. Our knowledge of such systems is still very limited despite being a focus of research for many years. The OCCAM workshop series aims at understanding the principles of information processing with a particular focus on 3 major topics:</p> <p>1. Neural coding and representation in hierarchical systems</p> <p>2. Self-organisation in dynamic systems</p> <p>3. Mechanisms for probabilistic inference </p> <p>The OCCAM 2012 theme is: "The Brain as an Information Processing System"</p> <p> </p> Matthias Bethge, Tuebingen* Andreas Engel, Hamburg* Marc Ernst, Bielefeld* Rainer Goebel, Maastricht* Judith Hirsch, Los Angeles Siegrid Loewel, Goettingen* Klaus Obermayer, Berlin* Gordon Pipa, Osnabrueck* Stefano Panzeri, Genova* Natasha Sigala, Brighton* Gasper Tkacik, Klosterneuburg* Catherine Tallon-Baudry, Paris* Julia Trommershaeuser, New York* Eilon Vaadia, Jerusalem* Felix Wichmann, Tuebingen* <p>(* confirmed)</p> <p> </p> <p>There will also be a poster session where conference participants will have the opportunity to present their work.</p> <p> </p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Frank Jaekel, Peter König, Gordon Pipa (Organizing committee)</p> <p> </p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Sat, 18 Apr 2026 5:56:41 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
