We are pleased to announce the following workshop, to be held on July 17, 
2004 in Santa Monica, CA, as part of the 8th International Conference on 
the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB2004):

Neurorobotic Models in Neuroscience and Neuroinformatics

Adaptive behavior in biological organisms results from interactions among 
brains, bodies, and environments. We propose in this workshop to explore 
neurorobotic approaches to understanding these interactions. A key feature 
of these approaches is the incorporation of aspects of neuroanatomy or 
neurophysiology that allow comparison with empirical data. More information 
is available at www.nsi.edu/users/seth/SABwsp.htm

We have a great lineup of invited speakers, including: Hiroshi Kimura, 
Stefan Schaal, Auke Ijspeert, Angelo Arleo, Philippe Gaussier, Jeff 
Krichmar, Kenji Doya, Ricardo Chavarriaga, Will Alexander, Olaf Sporns, and 
Steve Potter. We also have a great lineup of coffee breaks, allowing plenty 
of time for informal discussion. The day will end with dinner somewhere in 
Santa Monica.

We expect this workshop to have a significant impact in both 
Neuroinformatics (there will be a special issue of the Neuroinformatics 
journal based on the workshop contents) and in Adaptive Behavior. Come and 
be a part of it! You can register for only $90 (dinner not included) via 
the main SAB website: www.isab.org.uk/sab2004/ Please feel free to contact 
me (seth at nsi.edu) with any questions.

Best,

Anil Seth
Jeff Krichmar
Olaf Sporns
Auke Ijspeert
Ricardo Chavarriaga
