Abstract submissions are invited for a special Neuroscience and Neurocognition Track at IJCNN 2011. The abstracts must focus on areas broadly related to neurobiology, cognitive science and systems biology, including - but not limited t - the following:

Recognizing that some of the most exciting current research in neural networks is being done by researchers in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and systems biology, the abstracts program seeks participation from the broader community of scientists in these areas by offering an accessible forum for the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas. It will also provide researchers - especially doctoral students and postdocs - with an opportunity to showcase ongoing research in advance of its publication in journals.

Abstracts must be no longer than 500 words plus as many as 5 bibliographic citations. No figures or tables can be included. Abstracts should be submitted through the IJCNN online submission system by February 1, 2011

Unlike full papers, abstracts will receive only limited review to ensure their appropriateness for IJCNN and consistency with the focus areas of the abstracts program. Authors of accepted abstracts will be guaranteed a poster presentation at the conference. The authors of a limited number of exceptionally high-quality abstracts will be invited to give oral presentations, and possibly to submit full papers for the IJCNN 2011 special issue of the Elsevier journal, Neural Networks. Abstracts will not be included in the conference proceedings, but will be published on-line by the International Neural Network Society along with abstracts for all presentations at IJCNN 2011.
