[Steven Bressler]

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring this upcoming event to your attention,
and ask that you please distribute this announcement to your
department.
Best regards,
Steven Bressler, Craig Richter (Organizers)



Neurocognitive Networks 2010

will be held at Florida Atlantic University

on January 29-30, 2010

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation

with support from the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
 


Neurocognitive Networks 2010 is a multi-disciplinary conference
that aims to increase understanding of all aspects of
neurocognitive networks.

There is growing evidence that cognitive brain function must be
understood in terms of distributed, interacting systems. Recent
advances in cognitive neuroscience have been made possible by
analysis of the large-scale brain networks underlying cognition,
or neurocognitive networks for short. The study of
neurocognitive networks has provided new and exciting insights
into brain function. Advances have come from the cooperative
work of multiple disciplines, including functional neuroimaging,
electrophysiology, network modeling, and cognitive science. An
abiding lesson is that a synthesis of experimental, analytical,
and theoretical approaches is required to understand
neurocognitive networks, since no single discipline or
methodology in itself is adequate.


The guiding principle for the conference is that progress can be
made toward understanding the neural basis of cognition by
cross-fertilization at the intersection of four contemporary
research themes: (1) neuroimaging of neurocognitive network
function; (2) electrophysiology of neurocognitive network
dynamics; (3) computational modeling of neurocognitive networks;
(4) theory of neurocognitive networks. The conference schedule
will be organized according to this scheme, with one session for
each theme.

Registration
(http://www.ccs.fau.edu/~bressler/NCNC10/Registration.html) is
open to interested faculty and students, as well as those from
the community-at-large. Seating is limited, and advanced
registration is required for admission.
