Subject: Address correction for requesting the Workshop on Qualitative Vision

The address for requesting the proceedings failed to include the 
street address. It should have read:

Copies of the proceedings from the AAAI-90 Workshop on Qualitative
Vision are available for $35 (in North America) and $45US
(international), and can be obtained by writing: 

	AAAI-90 Workshop on Qualitative Vision
	Advanced Decision Systems
	1500 Plymouth Street
	Mountain View, CA  94043-1230

When requesting a copy of the Proceedings, please make your check
(payable in US $) to Advanced Decision Systems (this includes postage
and handling), specify the complete mailing address to which the
proceedings should be mailed, and (if available) include your e-mail
address in case there are any questions or problems.

Subject: Shallice/Neuropsychology: BBS Multiple Book Review

Below is the abstract of a book that will be accorded multiple book
review in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international,
interdisciplinary journal that provides Open Peer Commentary on
important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and
cognitive sciences. Commentators must be current BBS Associates or
nominated by a current BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator
on this book, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for
information about how to become a BBS Associate, please send email to:

harnad@clarity.princeton.edu  or harnad@pucc.bitnet        or write to:
BBS, 20 Nassau Street, #240, Princeton NJ 08542  [tel: 609-921-7771]

To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, please give some
indication of the aspects of the topic on which you would bring your
areas of expertise to bear if you are selected as a commentator.

          BBS Multiple Book Review of:
         FROM NEUROPSYCHOLOGY TO MENTAL STRUCTURE

              Tim Shallice
	      MRC Applied Psychology Unit
	      Cambridge, UK

ABSTRACT: Studies of the effects of brain lesions on human behavior are
now cited more widely than ever, yet there is no agreement on which
neuropsychological findings are relevant to our understanding of normal
function. Despite the range of artefacts to which inferences from
neuropsychological studies are potentially subject -- e.g., resource
differences between tasks, premorbid individual differences and
reorganisation of function -- they are corroborated by similar findings
in studies of normal cognition (short-term memory, reading, writing,
the relation between input and output systems and visual perception).
The functional dissociations found in neuropsychological studies suggest
that not only are input systems organized modularly, but so are central systems.
This conclusion is supported by considering impairments of knowledge,
visual attention, supervisory functions, memory and consciousness.

Subject: NN workshop

The following is an announcement of a neural network workshop to be
held in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The workshop is sponsored by the
CAIP Center of Rutgers University, New Jersey. In the recent past
there has been a lot of neural network research with direct
applications to Machine Vision and Image Processing. Applications in
vision  and image processing include early vision, feature extraction,
pattern classification and data compression. It is hoped that this
workshop will be of interest to the members of vision-list.

Thank you.
