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.
We invite registrations for participation as well as submissions of abstracts for oral and poster presentations. For details on the thematic sessions and submission guidelines, please visit our Scientific Program and the Abstract Submission Portal.
We are committed to fostering an open, inclusive, and diversity-friendly environment where researchers from all backgrounds feel welcome. Our conference embraces a respectful and supportive atmosphere for all participants, regardless of career stage, discipline, or personal background. For more details, please refer to our Diversity Statement and Code of Conduct.
We look forward to welcoming you to Göttingen!
