WelcomeHow does the brain process complex signals from the natural environment? What statistical properties characterize these signals, and how do they shape the structure and function of sensory neural circuits? How is sensory processing influenced by the active and goal-directed nature of information gathering carried out by living organisms, as opposed to passive reception often discussed in theoretical or engineering context?
The goal of this meeting is to examine such questions and ask how understanding natural signals can help us understand sensory processing and perception. This can lead to novel experimental setups which mimic the real environments and stimuli yet are nevertheless well-controlled, as well as to theoretical predictions about neural circuits and coding that can be checked experimentally.
Sensory Coding & Natural Environment has been a successful conference series organized since 2002, with the last meeting held in Maine in 2010. This interdisciplinary meeting has drawn together scientists at the interface of neuroscience, physics, engineering, psychology and machine learning. In addition to the interdisciplinary emphasis and the focus on searching for principles that extend across a range of sensory modalities and organisms, one of the strong points of the meeting has been to allow ample time for informal discussions. We hope that the 2012 meeting at IST Austria will also build on these strengths.

In and around Klosterneuburg (see Klosterneuburg Map, page 17)
In the Heurigen which originally only sold wine of the year’s vintage, the owners attempt to spoil guests with their homemade products such as bread and cheese. Such restaurants are located mostly on the Angesstraße in the city center.
You can find a list of recommended restaurants below.

Next to the Parkhotel in Klosterneuburg, you find the Happyland sports center which offers a pool, tennis, sauna and nine-pins bowling.
The monastery Stift Klosterneuburg is probably the most famous building in Klosterneuburg. You can visit the monastery and the world-known Verdun Altar every day between 10 am and 5 pm (address: Stiftsplatz 1).
Located along the main road to Vienna from Klosterneuburg is the Essl museum. Built in 1999 and dedicated to contemporary art, its current exhibitions contain the works of art by Franz Zadrazil and Cecily Brown (An der Donau 1, Tue-Sun: 10:00-18:00, Wed: 10:00-21:00, closed on Monday). You can get there on foot from Klosterneuburg or by every public bus going to Vienna.
14
On Sunday, September 9 you can visit the 7. wine culture day at the Stift Klosterneuburg. There you can learn about wine is produced in Austria (open 12:00-18:00).
Events in Vienna
There is too many events, exhibitions and culinary opportunities in Vienna to list here; check out www.wien.info for one of the online listings. Be sure to stop at one of the famous Viennese cafes and pastry shops (Demel, Central, Landtmann, Schwartzenberg, Diglas, Hawelka, Sacher Hotel, ...) if you visit the city.
This year the famous painter Gustav Klimt would have celebrated his 150th birthday. Due to his life-long relationship with Vienna the city hosts special exhibitions in the baroque Belvedere as well as the Leopold museum.
If you are interested in classical music you can visit the Musikverein in Vienna or listen to the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra at the Theater an der Wien.

About IST AustriaThe Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) is a multidisciplinary
research institution dedicated to basic research in the natural, computer and
mathematical sciences. The Institute is located in the city of Klosterneuburg, 18
km from the center of Vienna. As a PhD granting institution, the graduate school
at IST Austria educates doctoral students from around the world to become
research scientists. IST Austria was established jointly by the federal government
of Austria and the provincial government of Lower Austria and inaugurated in
2009. In the fall of 2010, the Bertalanffy Foundation Building, the first laboratory
building on the IST campus, was opened and the first experimental research
groups started their work at the Institute. By the end of 2011, 19 professors and
a total of 196 employees from 35 different countries worked at IST Austria. A
second laboratory building is under construction and will be completed by the
end of 2012, leading to a further expansion of the research activities. The
development plans of the campus allow a growth to 40-45 professors and
500-600 employees by 2016.
To foster a creative and interdisciplinary scientific atmosphere, all hierarchical
and separating organizational structures, such as departments, are avoided at
IST Austria. The scientists are organized into independent research groups, each
headed by a Professor or a tenure-track Assistant Professor. The decision to
promote an Assistant Professor to Professor with a permanent contract is based
entirely on an evaluation of the scientific achievements of the Assistant Professor
by international experts. Research excellence and promise are the exclusive
hiring criteria for all scientists at IST Austria - from doctoral students to
professors. The Institute chooses which fields of science to enter based solely
on the availability of outstanding individuals. It will pursue a direction of research
only if it can compete with the best in the world.
