<p>This is the 2nd year of BMI after the successful BMI
2012. BMI 2013 has two parts, summer school and
conference. <br>
</p>
<p><strong> Important dates</strong>: <br>
Full papers: by Sunday, April 14, 2013<br>
Abstracts: by Sunday, April 21, 2013<br>
Course applications (to get admitted so that you can
register): by Sunday, April 28, 2013 <br>
Advance registration: Sunday, April 28, 2013<br>

<h4 align="center">Call for BMI Course Applications</h4>
<p align="left">BMI summer courses will have two 3-week
sessions, the 1st session (Cognitive Science) June 17 -
July 5, 2013 and the 2nd session (Computational
Brain-Mind) July 15-August 2, 2013. <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Due to the need of 6-discipline scope, the BMI
courses are designed for anybody who has at least a
bachelor degree, including faculty, senior
researchers, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate
students in any discipline. Exceptional undergraduate
student can be considered on a case by case basis.</li>
<li>On-site participation of ICBM in the same year is
required for all course related activities (except BMI
871) as part of the requirements of the BMI 6DC
program, including one-course enrollment, two-course
enrollment, and non-course subject tests.<br>
</li>
<li>Those who do not take a BMI course can also register
for only ICBM. </li>
</ul>
<h4 align="center">Call for ICBM Papers and Abstracts</h4>
<p align="left">BMI Internal Conference on Brain-Mind
(ICBM) calls for papers in all subjects related to brain
or mind to be presented during Saturday and Sunday. The
subjects of interest include, but not limited to:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Genes</strong>: inheritance, evolution,
species, environments, nature vs. nurture, and
evolution vs. development.</li>
<li><strong>Cells</strong>: cell models, cell learning,
cell signaling, tissues, morphogenesis, and tissue
development.</li>
<li><strong>Circuits</strong>: features, clustering,
self-organization, cortical circuits, Brodmann areas,
representation, classification, and regression.</li>
<li><strong>Streams</strong>: pathways, intra-modal
attention, vision, audition, touch (including
kinesthetics, temperature), smell, and taste.</li>
<li><strong>Brain ways</strong>: neural networks,
brain-mind architecture, inter-modal attention,
multisensory integration, and neural modulation
(punishment/serotonin/pain,
reward/dopamine/pleasure/sex,
novelty/acetylcholine/norepinephrine, higher emotion).</li>
<li><strong>Experiences/learning</strong>: training,
learning, development, interaction, performance
metrics, and functions of genome.</li>
<li><strong>Behaviors:</strong> actions, motor
development, concept learning, abstraction, languages,
decision making, reasoning, and creativity.</li>
<li><strong>Societies/multi-agent</strong>: joint
attention, swarm intelligence, group intelligence,
genders, races, science of organization,
constitutions, and laws.</li>
<li><strong>Diseases</strong>: depression, ADD/ADHD,
drug addiction, dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia,
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, vision loss,
and hearing loss.</li>
<li><strong>Applications</strong>: image analysis,
computer vision, speech recognition, pattern
recognition, robotics, artificial intelligence,
instrumentation, and prosthetics.</li>
</ol>
<p>Accepted full papers and abstracts will be presented
orally at ICBM, available online and searchable. Each
paper will be maximum 8 pages. Each abstracts must be no
longer than 500 words plus as many as 4 bibliographic
citations (4000 characters total). <br>
