•       Connectionist cognitive science; 
•       Data analysis and pattern recognition; 
•       Graphical network models, Bayesian networks; 
•       Hardware implementations and embedded systems; 
•       Intelligent Multimedia and the Semantic Web; 
•       Neural and hybrid architectures and learning algorithms; 
•       Neural control, planning and robotics applications; 
•       Neural dynamics and complex systems; 
•       Neuroinformatics; 
•       Real world applications; 
•       Self-organization; 
•       Sequential and structured information processing; 
•       Signal and time series processing, blind source separation;
