This action is to recommend a Presidential Young                           Investigator Award for Dr. Christof Koch.  Dr. Koch is one of the               most outstanding young investigators in the rapidly developing                  field of computational neuroscience.  He combines a deep                        knowledge of neurobiology with excellent mathematical skills and                real expertise in computer science.  He has already created a                   classic work on the computational of motion in the dendritic tree               of retinal ganglion cells.  His work on image segmentation is                   very fundamental.  Finally, his studies on the detailed                         biophysics of the electrical interactions in neural spines is                   bringing a highly quantitative approach to the study of learning                in the nervous system.
