19th Joint Symposium on Neural Computation

University California Riverside, CA
Genomics Building, Auditorium



June 2, 2012



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, USC and UCR.
