Connectionists: CRoNe2018: 2nd CFP - Paper Submission deadline August 10, 2018

[Cristobal Jesus Nettle Vacher]

CRoNe2018 <http://crone2018.org> is a focused, multidisciplinary event part
of the Latin American Robotics Week organized by the Innovation and
Robotics Students group at UTFSM. CRoNe is a meeting point for people from
engineering, human and biological sciences for developing and understanding
complex intelligent systems.

During its 4th version, the Congress on Robotics and Neuroscience will be
focused on four different areas:

- *Development of meaning*: with approaches from Developmental Robotics,
Machine Learning, and Brain-based theories.
- *Predictive coding for cognitive development*: introducing analyses from
Neuroscience, Computational Neuroscience, and AI.
- *Multimodal cognition*: under neuroscientific and psicological scopes.
- *Experimental analyses and methodologies*: presenting novel methodologies
for closed-loop brain training, brain functional connectivity analyses and
Machine Learning applications.

The Congress considers 3 introductory workshops to be defined, related to
one or more of the previously detailed areas.

Some confirmed speakers: *Yukie Nagai*, *Wael El-Deredy*, *Lorena
Lobo*, *Marley
Vellasco*, *Ranganatha Sitaram*, among others.

*PUBLICATION*
========
CRoNe2018 proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online
publication, an OPEN, recognized ISSN publication series.

The proceedings ebook for the Congress considers an ISBN identification.

*VENUE*
========
The conference will be held at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, in
Valparaíso, Chile. Immerse in a World Heritage Seaport City, this
University has more than 85 years of activities in research and education.

Valparaíso by itself is a colored city with a natural amphitheater-like
setting with impressive open views, characterized by a vernacular urban
fabric adapted to the hillsides; and, is a neighbor city of the tourist
capital of Chile, Viña del Mar, which is located 5 minutes from the
conference location.

Other magnificent touristic destinations, as the Atacama Desert, the Easter
Island, or the millennial glaciers and waterfalls from Torres del Paine are
at one local flight away.

*CONTACT*
===========
All questions about the Congress, including submission, registration or any
other event information, should be emailed to crone at innovacionyrobotica.com.
