We are pleased to announce the First Göttingen Cognition Forum:
Curiosity & Interaction
The conference brings together researchers from neuroscience, psychology, behavioral biology, computational sciences and related fields, focusing on how social interactions and interaction with the environment shape cognition in humans and non-human animals. The meeting aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and connect researchers across disciplines and career stages. The program welcomes empirical, theoretical, and computational contributions, including studies on neurodivergence, novel methodologies, and AI-based analysis tools.
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 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.
Registration has been closed. On-site registration is not possible.
We look forward to welcoming you to Göttingen!
