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.

The title should be followed by one empty line, then author(s) name(s) (initials preceding) should be printed by lowercase letters with the bold font of 12 points.

3.      Affiliation(s) should follow author(s)’ name(s) (staring in the next line), all affiliations for each author should be indicated. If an authors have several affiliations, they should be numbered. E-mail address of the corresponding author should be printed in the next line. Then, two lines should be omitted.

4.      The paper should include a short abstract (in English, up to 10 lines), introduction, methods, results, conclusions, references. Subtitles in the text should occupy a separate line, be centered and printed by lowercase letters with the bold font of 12 points, and be separated from the top and bottom text by empty lines.

5.      Figures should be placed into the paper text (in current column). Figure legends should be formatted according to the figure width and printed with the font of 10 points.

6.      Table numbers and titles should be placed above tables and printed with the bold font of 12 points.

7.      Figures and tables should be enumerated throughout the paper. Single figures and tables should not be enumerated.

8.      Formulas printed in a separate line(s) should be centered. Formula number(s) should be right-aligned and put into parenthesis.

9.      References in the paper text should be made by numbers and put into square brackets.

10.  Reference list should be printed by lowercase letters with the bold font of 12 points in alphabetic order.
