neuron-request%hplabs@HPLABS.HP.COM (Neuron-Request Moderator Peter Marvit) (08/02/88)
Greetings to Neuron-Digest subscribers. As you may remember, in a recent Neuron-Digest, Mike Gately asked for volunteers to whom to pass the baton of moderatorship. After a bit of hiatus, I'd like to introduce myself as the one to follow Mike's very capable example. My name is Peter Marvit and I work at Hewlett-Packard Labs and (concurrently) have returned to school at the University of California at Berkeley. My personal interests in the area of Neural Nets include modeling of cognitive processes as well as physiological and anatomical models of the nervous system and brain itself -- rather lofty goals, admittedly. After a few bumps in the transfer of this list, I hope to release a digest about every other week, more if volume requires. Even if I get no submissions, I'll fake a few, just to keep the juice flowing. The success of this Digest, however, is in your hands. All submissions, whether questions, answers, commentary, or just ruminating are welcome. A more formal "statement of purpose" will be forthcoming. This message also will serve to test the new mailing list. Many of the addresses were changed to reflect HP's connectivity. If some of you notice *long* delays from the mail date (today is 1 August) or your mail gets mangled or your addresses are incorrect, please contact me. I'll send at least one brief follow-up before resuming Digest mailing so that as many fixes can be effected as possible. Please note the new address for submissions, address problems, additions, deletions, and any other administrivia: neuron-request@hplabs.hp.com or neuron@hplabs.hp.com If all goes well, you will have received all the backlog and we should be caught up and ready to go with a new volume number by 1 September. Regards, Peter Marvit The New Neuron-Digest Moderator
