Just wanted to let everyone know about the ISHN Meeting in LA from June 1-5,
2002 (see http://www.ishn.org/). FYI, there is one session, at the Getty,
that looks particularly relevant to art and the brain. As noted at the end
of this message, it is possible to register for this session only. Amy

Seating is limited. One-day registration ($10) may be available on a
first-come, first-served basis (see Registration Form) and must be obtained
before June 4 or on the UCLA campus this morning; registration will not be
available at the auditorium door. Since the program begins before the Getty
opens to the public in the morning, we will rendezvous on campus and
transfer to the Getty by buses. If you miss the ISHN buses, there is ample
alternate transportation (public bus, taxicab) to deliver you to the Getty,
but you will not be admitted to the grounds before 10:00 am.
