Two suggestions (or maybe more if I really get rolling...)

1) Check out the bionet.groups. I do not believe that there currently
exists a bionet.neuro or something akin, but it would be an ideal
location to set it up. The discussions on these groups are rather
like solar activity: nothing for some time, then a large eruption
of traffic. There are some very eminent folks out there who read
bionet.stuff but ignore sci.bio as too damn noisy and not signal-y enough.

2) There are groups devoted to neural nets and assorted ai (artificial
intelligence) issues. They are in the comp. hierarchy.

If you don't have access to bionet groups, I know the fellas in
charge and could pass you along to them, but I'm leery of posting
their addresses here. Drop me e-mail if you need it, and if the
traffic gets absurd, I'll post 'em.
