We plan to recapture the pioneering spirit of the original conference, extending our welcome to fields on the expanding frontier of Cognitive Science, including Artificial Life, Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, Evolutionary Psychology, as well as the core areas of Anthropology, Computer Science, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology. The conference will feature plenary addresses by invited speakers, invited symposia by leaders in their fields, technical paper sessions, a poster session, a banquet, and a Blues Party. This is the preferred method of registration. The meeting will combine tutorials, informal roundtable discussions and in-depth reviews of critical problems as well as directions for further research. This institute will be of particular interest to psychologists, neuroscientists, neurologists and psychiatrists.
Cognitive neuroscientists are especially encouraged to apply.

Partial financial assistance for living expenses will be available for selected applicants from NATO and affiliated countries. Participants must be in attendance for the duration of the conference.
