The speaker at the First Annual Utah Cognitive Science Lecture
is Dr. Andreas Andreou of the Johns Hopkins University Electrical
Engineering Department. His topic is "A Physical Model of the Retina in
Analog VLSI That Explains Optical Illusions". This provides a contrast
to Dr. Carver Mead of Caltech, who spoke earlier this year in Utah at the
Computer Science Department's Annual Organick Lecture.
The time and date of the First Annual Cognitive Science Lecture will
be Tuesday, April 2nd, 4:00 P.M. The room will be 101 EMCB(next to the
Merrill Engineering Building), University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.
A small reception(refreshments) will be available. This event is
cosponsored by the Sigma Xi Resarch Fraternity. Dr. Dick Normann, Dr.
Ken Horch, Dr. Dick Burgess, and Dr. Phil Hammond were extremely helpful
in organizing this event.
For more information on this event and other Cognitive Science related
events in the state of Utah, contact me (801)-581-4710 or by
e-mail(preferred) (soller@cs.utah.edu) . We have an 130 person
electronic mailing list within the state of Utah announcing these kind of
events. We are also finishing up this year's edition of the Utah
Cognitive Science Information Guide, which contains 80 faculty, 60
graduate students, 60 industry representatives, 32 courses, and 25
research groups from the U. of Utah, BYU, Utah State and local industry.
A rough draft can be copied by anonymous ftp from
/usr/spool/ftp/pub/guide.doc from the cs.utah.edu machine. A final draft
in plain text and a Macintosh version(better format) will be on the ftp
site in about 2 weeks.
