There are two conferences in the next ten days which you may find
of interest. I am going to both, and would be happy to meet people
from the list there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Montreal, May 5 and 6 "Consciousness and frontiers of neuroscience"
There will be some interesting people - David J. Chalmers,
Patricia S. Churchland, and others.

More info available at

http://WWW.CAM.ORG/~cyrd/CRSN/XIXSymposium/index.html

Registration for the conference is $100 Canadian (about $70 US) or $35
cdn (~$25 US) if you can pass off as a student. Banquet at 7 on Monday,
that's another $65

It's a pretty late stage of the registration process, but it's not
yet closed.
