PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT:  NEURAL COMPUTING AND PROCESSING
 
 
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) announces a 
new program of support for basic research on the computational 
aspects of neural networks.
 
Research that could yield computational neural models of 
information processing, learning, and cognition in complex 
biological systems is specifically encouraged.  AFOSR is 
interested in multidisciplinary theoretical and empirical 
approaches.  Research focused on neural architectures subserving 
learning and cognition or on computational aspects of 
neuromorphic structures and systems is also of interest.
 
Research proposals are now being accepted by AFOSR.  All 
proposals received before July 1, 1987 will be considered for the 
first cycle of support to begin in October.  Support from AFOSR 
is typically provided as multi-year grants or contracts.
