The conference will begin Friday afternoon with an invited talk at 6:30; four other talks will be presented on Saturday. There will be a poster session and reception Friday evening after dinner, and another poster session will be held Saturday after lunch. Submissions for the poster sessions are invited on any aspect of cognitive science. (Each participant should submit no more than one poster.) The poster submission form will be available on this site soon. Please note that data on which posters are based must be collected and analyzed at the time of submission. Graduate and postdoctoral students are especially encouraged to present. (Information for poster presenters is available here.)
As in the past, the invited presentations are like colloquia and allow a scientist ample time to lay out a course of research, rather than simply to discuss the results of one or two experiments. An extensive question period and break follows each 45 minute presentation and provides time for detailed questions and discussion.
This year’s speakers include:
- Ron Borowsky (University of Saskatchewan)
- Peggy St. Jacques (University of Alberta)
- Chris Madan (University of Nottingham)
- Shayna Rosenbaum (York University)
- Adrian Owen (Western University)
The preliminary program will be available here prior to the conference; paper copies of the final version will be available with registration materials at the conference.
