13th Joint Symposium on Neural Computation

Institute for Neural Computation,
University of California, San Diego
Salk Institute, La Jolla

Trustees Room
Salk Institute



May 20, 2006



In 1994, the Institute for Neural Computation at UCSD hosted the first Joint Symposium on Neural Computation with Caltech. This Symposium brought together students and faculty for a day of short presentations. Since then, this Symposium has rotated between San Diego, Caltech, UCI, UCLA and USC.
