The conference will feature pre-conference, tutorials, plenary speeches given by world-renowned scholars, regular sessions with broad coverage, special sessions focusing on popular topics, and post-conference tutorials/workshops in conjunction with the main event. Authors are invited to contribute high-quality papers to ICICIP 2027. In addition, proposals for special sessions within the conference's technical scope are solicited. Special sessions, organized by internationally recognized experts, aim to bring together researchers on focused topics. Papers submitted for special sessions are to be peer-reviewed using the same criteria as for contributed papers. Researchers interested in organizing special sessions are invited to submit brief proposals to the ICICIP 2027 special sessions chairs. A special session proposal should include the session title, a brief description of the scope and motivation, names, contact information, and brief biographical information on the organizers. Authors are invited to submit full-length papers (the nominal number of pages is 10) by the submission deadline through the online submission system. Special session organizers are also invited to enlist six or more papers with cohesive topics to form special sessions. The submission of a paper implies that the paper is original and has not been submitted under review or is not copyright-protected elsewhere, and will be presented by an author if accepted. All submitted papers will be refereed by experts in the field based on the criteria of originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to revise their papers and incorporate the referees' comments and suggestions. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements.

Postdoctoral positions in sensory coding and memory - University of Sheffield
by Andrew Lin Sept. 15, 2026

Sept. 15, 2026

Why are brains the way they are? Do neural circuits function in an “optimal” way, and if so, in what sense are they optimal? How does the brain encode sensory information and form associative memories? Andrew Lin’s lab at the University of Sheffield is seeking up to two Research Associates to study these questions in the fruit fly Drosophila. We study memory using a range of methods, such as in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, electrophysiology, fly genetics, behavioural experiments, computational modelling and building custom equipment. You will design, develop and perform experiments and data analysis (tailoring the project to your own interests and expertise), write papers, and present your work at conferences and seminars. We seek self-motivated, innovative and creative candidates with a PhD (or be close to completion / have equivalent postdoctoral level experience) in a relevant field, expertise in at least some of the above techniques, excellent communication skills, and an ability to work independently and in a team. We encourage applications from diverse academic backgrounds, such as biology, neuroscience, experimental psychology, computer science, physics and engineering.

The position is for two years. The other postdoc researcher (2-year duration) and the PhD student (4-year) will work jointly on identifying canonical Bayesian operations at play in human visual and auditory perception. The project involves Bayesian modelling, artificial vision network simulations, behavioral and EEG experiments as well as intra-cranial EEG experiments (in collaboration with Benjamin Morillon, AMU Marseille). We will look for complementarity of the two profiles, notably in terms of quantitative and experimental backgrounds. The hired researchers will benefit from the stimulating environment of the Barcelona area in cognitive and computational neuroscience. Our groups form part of a larger interacting network of neuroscience labs in Barcelona ( http://www.barccsyn.org) Financial support is provided by the Spanish National Agency of Investigation (FPI fellowship for the PhD student). *APPLICATION:* Send a curriculum and motivation with a list of two contacts for recommendation letter at https://bit.ly/ChrisAlexPositions.
