                 MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
----------------------------------------------------

The annual Cosyne meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange 
of empirical and theoretical approaches to problems in systems 
neuroscience, in order to understand how neural systems function.

Cosyne 2021 will take place online, February 27 - March 1, 2021. The 
goal of this year’s meeting is to promote early stage investigators. 
Therefore, there are no invited talks from established researchers.

The format will include featured contributed talks and an interactive 
poster-like presentations (short recorded presentation + live 
interactions). More details to follow.

All abstract submissions will be reviewed as in previous years, but 
reviewing will be fully double blind. The deadline for Abstract 
submission will be November 12, 2020.

Cosyne topics include but are not limited to: neural basis of behavior, 
sensory and motor systems, circuitry, learning, neural coding, natural 
scene statistics, dendritic computation, neural basis of persistent 
activity, nonlinear receptive field mapping, representations of time and 
sequence, reward systems, decision-making, synaptic plasticity, map 
formation and plasticity, population coding, attention, and computation 
with spiking networks.


IMPORTANT DATES

   Abstract submission opens:    11 October 2020
   Abstract submission deadline: 12 November 2020


When preparing an abstract, authors should be aware that not all 
abstracts can be accepted for the meeting. Abstracts will be selected 
based on the clarity with which they convey the substance, significance, 
and originality of the work to be presented.
