---------- FINAL PROGRAM ----------
  
Beyond Simple Cells: Probabilistic models for visual cortical processing
NIPS 2007 workshop, December 7
 
Organizers:
Richard Turner, Pietro Berkes, and Maneesh Sahani

** Poster submissions are still being accepted - see the web page **
--------------------------------------

This one day workshop comprises a series of provocative talks from 
world-leading computational modelers of cortical processing. A panel of 
expert experimentalists will critique the talks with the goal of
inspiring new research directions of greater general neuroscientific 
interest.

--------------------------------------
SPEAKERS

E. Simoncelli - Building and testing multi-stage models for cortical 
processing 

O. Schwartz -  Natural image statistics and contextual visual 
processing

M. Lewicki - Learning to generalize over regions of natural images

M. Black - Can Markov random fields tell us anything about visual 
receptive fields?

A. Ng - Self-taught learning via unsupervised discovery of structure

B. Olshausen -  What the other 85% of V1 is doing 

PANEL MEMBERS:
 
Dario Ringach, Jozsef Fiser, Andreas Tolias
