Get inspired by previous CogSci themes and help shape the direction of CogSci 2024, by bringing together your group's specialisation and experience to create a first rate program. Submissions are welcome from all regions of the globe. There is no requirement that any of the Co-Chairs live or work near the physical conference venue. In fact, collaboration among varied institutions and countries is encouraged. We welcome proposals from all interested cognitive scientists. We especially encourage proposals consistent with our diversity, equality, and inclusion objectives of increasing leadership in cognitive science among those historically under-represented. Conference Co-Chairs are responsible for selecting the conference theme, invited speakers, and invited symposia, as well as the papers and posters that most conference attendees view as the substance of the Annual Meeting. For more details on the process, and to submit your statement of interest, please click on the button below. The deadline for co-chair proposals is 30 Sep 2022. https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcognitivesciencesociety.org%2Ffuture-conference-organizers%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ciccm-l%40lists.psu.edu%7Cd916bb7550694946d54608da9b0330c6%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637992735242316747%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=k2Ncf0dgC8PjfRvwXWtBfcU2kKqmfY5Pa8CXIxLptow%3D&reserved=0 **************************************************************** 2) Neuromatch Conference 2022,?

This competition challenges?cognitive scientists to address a thought-provoking question in Cognitive?Science but for an audience of non-experts, particularly high school and early college students. Do you have what it takes? We challenge?you to create a 5-minute video?answering the question "Can Machines Think?" The video should communicate?cognitive science concepts in an engaging manner for people unfamiliar with Cognitive Science.?The top video will receive a $1000?prize and be featured on the CSS website. Submissions open on Sep 1st. See the website for more details. This competition?is part of our new outreach efforts to support increased awareness and understanding of Cognitive Science among diverse audiences. We encourage submissions from people with diverse?backgrounds and perspectives, and for this?contest to reflect the Cognitive Science Society's core values of interdisciplinary breadth and inclusiveness.?Consider sharing this opportunity with others who have a passion for Cognitive Science, including faculty, graduate students, senior undergraduates, and industry cognitive scientists. As part of this competition, actual high school students will be providing feedback on the videos. We are currently connecting with students both to be judges in this competition?and as a way to outreach with students about Cognitive?Science. If you know of a student group or outreach group that services high school or early college students that we could connect with, you can contact our outreach coordinator, Monique Crouse, at mcrouse at ucsc.edu.

A variety of different travelers move in different travel chains. The interplay of such different systems, such as car and bike sharing, local and long-distance public transport and individual transport, must be adapted to the needs of the travelers. Intelligent traveler information systems must be created to make it easier for travelers to plan, book and execute an intermodal travel chain and to interact with the different systems. Innovative means of transport are developed, such as electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles. To achieve the acceptance of these systems, human-machine interaction must be completely redesigned.

[For my part, I have an Aranet 4 CO2 monitor.? My teaching room was at 1400 ppm the first day, and with "a little adjustment" (ie turning on the ventilation), the room came down to 500-600.? I think in time these will be more common. I also ask students to mask, and get some 80-85% compliance. ] I append the 13 steps.? We (PSU and the US) really should be requiring masking and vaccination, as we do with measles and polio. But, COVID deaths are now down to only 3x traffic deaths per day.... *Evidence-based guidelines to help protect faculty: * ?1. Be vaccinated and boosted as suggested by your healthcare provider. ??? Vaccinate your family; flu shot, too. ?2. Encourage people with whom you interact to be vaccinated; encourage ??? your university to require it. ?3. The CDC advises you have a greater chance of catching COVID-19 in an ??? unventilated or poorly ventilated space if you have been within six ??? feet of an infected, unmasked person for fifteen minutes or a masked ??? person for twice that. Do not hesitate to mask inside (exposure is ??? cumulative). ?4. Consider taking supplementary vitamins, such as D and C. Do other ??? things to keep healthy: reduce stress, get outside, exercise, eat a ??? balanced diet. ?5. If you get sick, and especially if you have underlying risk factors, ??? get tested by a pharmacy that can immediately treat you with antivirals. ?6. Require the folks you interact with to also be properly masked when ??? the ventilation or their vaccination status is unknown. ?7. Choose better, easy-to-wear masks (N95, KN95, or KF94). Wear them in ??? higher-risk areas. ?8. Maintain six feet or more of distance from others, particularly if ??? they may be unvaccinated, infected but asymptomatic, or coughing or ??? sneezing. ?9. Provide office hours remotely. 10. If you have been exposed, quarantine and teach remotely. If you are ??? sick, isolate and look after yourself . 11. Pay attention to ventilation: open windows, insist on better ??? ventilation, teach in larger rooms with more space between occupants ??? or outside, whenever possible; and check your room ventilation with ??? CO2 monitors. 12. Assist with contact tracing in your classes. Seating charts or daily ??? pictures help. Provide flexible attendance policies for those sick. 13. Encourage your university to share information, including detailed ??? numbers about ventilation, infection rates, and contact tracing to ??? help judge risk. Until they do so, stay in a safe place when you can.

The role lies at the interface of deep learning theory and theoretical neuroscience and will involve conducting research into artificial deep networks using techniques from applied mathematics. A particular focus is on understanding how depth affects learned representations and network behaviour. Funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (GCNU) founded in 1998 is a world-leading centre for research in computational theoretical neuroscience and in probabilistic and statistical machine learning.? The Unit's co-location with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL creates the potential for a uniquely close interaction between theory and experiment in neuroscience and the integrated study of perception, control and learning. The appointment will initially be for a period of 2 years with the possibility of extension at the end of the period. To apply see the further details at the link below.
