The main topic of the ICNC-09
"Living organism in the real world: from neurophysiology towards brain-based
devices"

In the framework of the ICNC-09 will be held:
The Third International Symposium on Neuroinformatics and Neurocomputers (3rd
ISNN)
The International Symposium on "Brain-Computer" Interface
The Fifth International Young Scientists School
Neuro-2009: "Neuroinformatics, Neurocybernetics, Neurocomputers"
The International Workshop on Modern Methods for Neuroscience Research

The topics of ICNC-09 will be as follows:
Cellular and subcellular mechanisms of neural functions, and their
system-level implications
Genesis of rhythms and oscillatory activity in the brain mechanisms of
perception, attention and mind
Perception, motion control, and image recognition in the real world
Human-computer interface
Biologically motivated algorithms, models, and tools for real-world
information processing
Neural architectures and synthesis of brain-based devices

Working languages of the Conference are English and Russian.
