workshop is co-located with an INCF Short Course on the same topic
(http://www.incf.ni.uos.de/).

The OCCAM workshop series aims at understanding the principles of
information processing in the brain with a particular focus on 3
major topics:

1. Neural coding and representation in hierarchical systems
2. Self-organization in dynamical systems 
3. Mechanisms for probabilistic inference

There will also be a poster session where conference participants will
have the opportunity to present their work. The deadline for
submitting an abstract for a poster presentation is also March 7.

Best regards,

Frank Jäkel, Peter König, Gordon Pipa (Organizing committee)
