The 25th Center for Visual Science Symposium

The 25th Center for Visual Science Symposium, titled "Statistical learning and brain plasticity", will be held on June 1-3, 2006 at the University of Rochester. Traditionally, this forum has allowed close interaction among the participants. A limited number of travel awards and fellowship will be provided for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Electronic registration is available now. For further information, please visit: www.cvs.rochester.edu/symposium.html
