Computational Methods in Neural Modeling: 7th International Work-Conference on Artificial and Natural Neural Networks, IWANN 2003, Maó, Menorca, Spain, June 3-6. Proceedings, Part I

The global purpose of IWANN conferences has been to provide a broad and - terdisciplinary forum for the interplay between neuroscience and computation. Our dream has been, and still is: (1) ?nd ways to understand the physiol- ical, symbolic and cognitive nature of the nervous system (NS) with the help of computational and engineering tools; and (2) ?nd rich and insightful sources of inspiration in biology, to develop new materials, mechanisms and probl- solving methods (PSM) of value in eng...
