Several architectures, learning strategies and algorithms have been introduced in this highly dynamic field in the last couple of decades. Nowadays, having reached notable scientific and applicative maturity, neural computation and related techniques are considered as major basis toward the completion of intelligent artificial systems. This conference intends to be a major forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners interested in the study, analysis, design, modeling and implementation of neural computing systems, both theoretically and in a broad range of application fields.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm'><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm'><span lang=EN-GB>Conference Chair(s) <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm'><span class=normal><span lang=EN-GB><a href="http://www.ecta.ijcci.org/EventChairs.aspx#JuanJulianMerelo"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>Juan Julian Merelo, </span></a>University of Granada, Spain<br><a href="http://www.ecta.ijcci.org/EventChairs.aspx#KevinWarwick"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>Kevin Warwick (honorary), </span></a>University of Reading and Coventry University, United Kingdom<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm'><span class=normal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm'><span class=normal><span lang=EN-GB>Program Chair(s) <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm'><span class=MsoHyperlink><span lang=EN-GB style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><a href="http://www.ncta.ijcci.org/ProgramCommittee.aspx#H.K.Lam"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>H.
