It should have read: Copies of the proceedings from the AAAI-90 Workshop on Qualitative Vision are available for $35 (in North America) and $45US (international), and can be obtained by writing: AAAI-90 Workshop on Qualitative Vision Advanced Decision Systems 1500 Plymouth Street Mountain View, CA 94043-1230 When requesting a copy of the Proceedings, please make your check (payable in US $) to Advanced Decision Systems (this includes postage and handling), specify the complete mailing address to which the proceedings should be mailed, and (if available) include your e-mail address in case there are any questions or problems. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Sep 90 23:02:16 EDT From: Stevan Harnad Subject: Shallice/Neuropsychology: BBS Multiple Book Review Below is the abstract of a book that will be accorded multiple book review in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal that provides Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be current BBS Associates or nominated by a current BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator on this book, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please send email to: harnad@clarity.princeton.edu or harnad@pucc.bitnet or write to: BBS, 20 Nassau Street, #240, Princeton NJ 08542 [tel: 609-921-7771] To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, please give some indication of the aspects of the topic on which you would bring your areas of expertise to bear if you are selected as a commentator. BBS Multiple Book Review of: FROM NEUROPSYCHOLOGY TO MENTAL STRUCTURE Tim Shallice MRC Applied Psychology Unit Cambridge, UK ABSTRACT: Studies of the effects of brain lesions on human behavior are now cited more widely than ever, yet there is no agreement on which neuropsychological findings are relevant to our understanding of normal function. Despite the range of artefacts to which inferences from neuropsychological studies are potentially subject -- e.g., resource differences between tasks, premorbid individual differences and reorganisation of function -- they are corroborated by similar findings in studies of normal cognition (short-term memory, reading, writing, the relation between input and output systems and visual perception). The functional dissociations found in neuropsychological studies suggest that not only are input systems organized modularly, but so are central systems. This conclusion is supported by considering impairments of knowledge, visual attention, supervisory functions, memory and consciousness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 17 Sep 90 13:54:54 EDT From: sankar@caip.rutgers.edu (ananth sankar) Subject: NN workshop The following is an announcement of a neural network workshop to be held in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The workshop is sponsored by the CAIP Center of Rutgers University, New Jersey. In the recent past there has been a lot of neural network research with direct applications to Machine Vision and Image Processing. Applications in vision and image processing include early vision, feature extraction, pattern classification and data compression. It is hoped that this workshop will be of interest to the members of vision-list. Thank you. Ananth Sankar Announcement follows: ===================================================================== Rutgers University CAIP Center CAIP Neural Network Workshop 15-17 October 1990 A neural network workshop will be held during 15-17 October 1990 in East Brunswick, New Jersey under the sponsorship of the CAIP Center of Rutgers University. The theme of the workshop will be "Theory and impact of Neural Networks on future technology" Leaders in the field from government, industry and academia will present the state-of-the-art theory and applications of neural networks. Attendance will be limited to about 100 participants. A Partial List of Speakers and Panelists include: J. Alspector, Bellcore A. Barto, University of Massachusetts R. Brockett, Harvard University L. Cooper, Brown University J. Cowan, University of Chicago K. Fukushima, Osaka University D. Glasser, University of California, Berkeley S. Grossberg, Boston University R.
