Göttingen Cognition Forum

We are pleased to announce the First Göttingen Cognition Forum:

Curiosity & Interaction
Social and physical interactions with the environment shape cognition in humans and non-human animals alike. Understanding these processes requires perspectives from multiple disciplines, including systems and computational neuroscience, behavioral biology, and psychology. To encourage interdisciplinary discussions and to bridge methodological and conceptual gaps between fields, the conference provides a platform for discussing neurocognitive mechanisms, psychological processes, and biological and evolutionary perspectives.

Participation is FREE OF CHARGE

Deadlines for registration:
August 1, for abstract submissions (for oral presentations, poster or market place contributions)
September 15th, for participation only

Confirmed Plenary speakers:
Jacqueline Gottlieb (Columbia University): Learning, Memory, Decision-Making
Bahador Bahrami (LMU Munich): Social Neuroscience, Decision-Making
Judith Burkart (University of Zurich): Comparative Psychology, Cognitive Evolution,
Steve Chang (Yale University): Social Neuroscience, Social Behavior
Nachum Ulanovsky (Weizmann Institute of Science): Neural Underpinnings of Natural Behavior
Agostina Palmigiano (UC London): Computational Neuroscience

Empirical, theoretical, and computational approaches are equally valued, as are perspectives across the lifespan and insights from clinical research on neurodivergent and disabled populations. In addition, we particularly welcome contributions on methodological advances and artificial intelligence, including novel approaches for analyzing cognitive and behavioral processes.

The two-day main symposium will be followed by a one-day satellite symposium focusing on Computational Neuroscience to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Göttingen Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience
