The Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) at the Hebrew University is holding a program to mark 20 years of interdisciplinary research in neural computation at the Hebrew University. This program will begin with a week-long Batsheva de Rothschild seminar whose purpose is to assess and debate the progress and achievements of this field. In the seminar we intend to discuss the relevance of Statistical Physics to Neural Computations; discuss learning theory, information theory and their uses in theory and experiments in neuroscience; discuss developments in understanding the neural code; and the relationships between theory and experiments in neuroscience.
