Erdi Peter **************************************************************** DYNAMICS OF HIPPOCAMUS (and other CORTICAL STRUCTURES) Visegrad, August 24-27 Dept. Biophysics of the KFKI Reserach Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian Cognitive Science Foundation ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Eotvos University Resort House. Visegrad, Fo utca 117 Tel: +(36 26) 398 165 from Hungary dial: 06 26 398 165 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= There are lectures and working sessions in the workshop. The intention of the working sessions to have discussions about the scope and limits of models in the light of the experimental background and develop new model frameworks, if it appears to be necessary. Six speicific topics will be discussed, and the discussion leaders assigned are requested to make some preparations to lead the work of the session.
