| Symposium: re-emergence of simple systems |
 This symposium was all about invertebrate model systems for understanding how brains grapple with real-world complexity.I'll try to blog the single talks and then I'll have to see how I can cover the rest of the meeting....[more] |

| Martin Egelhaaf: Active vision: a strategy of complexity reduction in behavioral control |
| The second talk in this symposium was by Martin Egelhaaf on how the blowfly brain processes self-generated visual input. His first main point was that optic flow must first be dissected into translational and rotational ...[more] |

| Roy Ritzmann: Movement through complex terrains by insects and robots |
| Roy Ritzman works on cockroaches and builds robots from the data he gathers in the insects. Cool stuff! He started by presenting videos of cockroaches with various lesions to their brains, which lead to very specific impa...[more] |

| Jack Gray: Complex behavior from compact systems |
| Jack Gray is the organizer of the symposium and works on locusts and moths. His main research interest is in collision avoidance in flying insects. He described an identified motion sensitive pathway from the eyes to the...[more] |
