The 3rd Annual Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Conference (CCNC) will be held the two days prior to the 2007 Society for Neuroscience meeting, San Diego, and in subsequent years on a rotating basis with other meetings.
- Featured keynote speakers for 2007:
- Alex Pouget
- Read Montague
- Interactive & interdisciplinary symposia
- Contributed talks & poster sessions
Mission Statement
The field of cognitive neuroscience has flourished due to advances using
multiple methodologies such as anatomy, physiology, imaging, and behavior. Given the progress that has been made in each of these areas, the
time is ripe for strong theoretical frameworks that can relate different
levels of analysis, moving beyond basic brain/behavior correlations. The
emerging field of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) is ideally
suited to help fill this need through the use of mathematical analysis and explicit computational
models that bridge the gap between biological mechanisms and cognitive
function. This meeting focuses on research at the intersection of
neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and computational modeling, where
neuroscience-based computational models are used to simulate and understand
cognitive functions such as perception, attention, learning and memory,
language, and higher-level cognitive functions. CCN research benefits greatly
from collaboration with various non-modeling researchers for developing and
interpreting relevant empirical data. A major goal for this conference is to
create fruitful opportunities for modelers and non-modelers to interact.
