Connectionist Modeling and Brain Function:
The Developing Interface
February 25-26, 1988
Princeton University
Lewis Thomas Auditorium
This symposium explores the interface between connectionist modeling
and neuroscience by bringing together pairs of collaborating speakers
or researchers working on related problems. The speakers will consider
the current state and future prospects of four fields in which convergence
between experimental and computational approaches is developing rapidly.

Travel Information
Princeton is located in central New Jersey, approximately 50 miles
southwest of New York City and 45 miles northest of Philadelphia. To
reach Princeton by public transportation, one usually travels through
one of these cities. We recommend the following routes:

PHILADELPHIA - - Interstate 95 to U.S. Route #1 North. From
Washington - - New Jersey Turnpike to Exit #8, Hightstown; Route 571.
Princeton University is located one mile west of U.S. Route #1. It
can be reached via Washington Road, which crosses U.S. Route #1 at the
Penns Neck Intersection.
By Train
Take Amtrak or New Jersey Transit train to Princeton Junction, from
which you can ride the shuttle train (known locally as the "Dinky")
into Princeton. Please consult the Campus Map below for directions on
walking to Lewis Thomas Hall from the Dinky Station.
