Summary:

This volume includes papers presented at the Fourth Annual Computation and Neural Systems meeting ( CNS *95) held in Monterey California, July 11 - July 15, 1995. This collection includes 79 of the 124 papers presented at this year's meeting.Acceptance for meeting presentation was based on the peer review of preliminary papers by at least two referees. The papers in this volume, were submitted in final form after the meeting. As represented by this volume, CNS meeting continue to expand in quality, size and breadth of focus as increasing numbers of neuroscientists are taking a computational approach to understanding nervous system function.
