NEURAL NETWORK MODELS AND THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM
A conference on neural network models and the vestibular system
will be held on Monday, April 18 and Tuesday, April 19, 1988 at
NASA Ames Research Center. The conference is sponsored by the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Office of
Naval Research.
The meeting will provide a forum for interactions between neural
network theoreticians and modelers, and vestibular physiologists.
A round table discussion among the speakers and other conference
participants will define aspects of the vestibular system which
can be productively modeled using current neural network theory.
The speakers include:
John Hopfield, Neural Networks
Christof Koch, Neural Models
David Rumelhart, Parallel Distributed Processing
Tomaso Poggio, Visual Processing
David Van Essen, Visual System Models
Fred Guedry, Vestibular Systems Overview
Charles Oman, Semicircular Canal Biophysics
A.J. Hudspeth, Transduction in Hair Cells
Manning Correia, Peripheral Vestibular Synaptic Function
Jay Goldberg, Neural Coding
Stephen Highstein, Comparative Aspects of Vestibular Projections
Joel Gallagher, Central Pharmacology of the Vestibular System
Charles Markham, Vestibular Reflexes
Laurence Young, Visual-Vestibular Interactions
