Regarding topics, it is clear that the people of some categories have embraced the neuroinformatics concept more than others. This places us in a situation where the leaders of Workshop 1 (Erik and Anders) will have a lot of abstracts to review, whereas other workshop leaders will have considerably less. So, Erik and Anders, if you come across abstracts that you think borders to another topic you may consider changing its topic. Of course it goes for all of you that if you think an abstract is in the wrong topic group, then just change its topic.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="2" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="2" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">So now begins review phase 1 where we ask you to grade</span></font><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><font size="2" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">all the abstracts of your topics 1-5, where 1 means not accepted and 5 means strong candidate for oral presentation.
