About the Conference

CCN is an annual forum for discussion among researchers in cognitive science, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, dedicated to understanding the computations that underlie complex behavior.  The conference began in 2017, with a goal to deepen interactions between these disciplines and to discover ways that the communities can benefit one another and leverage each other’s successes, articulated in this TICS commentary paper.

The conference is primarily single-track featuring keynote speakers and oral presentations.  Paper submissions are presented as posters with a few additionally selected for oral presentations. Community-proposed programming happens in single-track and parallel sessions, including "GACs", "K&Ts", and other community events. Generative Adversarial Collaborations (GACs), are symposia designed to clarify theoretical debates and scaffold forward progress. Keynote-and-Tutorial presentations (K&Ts) foster science and skill-building, presenting cutting-edge science as a talk, followed by the code and a tutorial of how to execute those methods. Open events are designed to welcome all creative ideas for community building, skill building, science exchange, mentorship and career development.  We aspire to have an active, open, and responsive culture to meet the needs of this dynamic growing field.

We encourage participation from experimentalists and theoreticians investigating complex brain computations in humans and animals. CCN will draw researchers that address challenges including (and not limited to):

  • Understanding brain information processing underlying real-world tasks that involve natural stimuli, rich knowledge, complex inferences, and behavior
  • Measuring and expanding the representational competencies of modern AI systems
  • Understanding commonalities and differences between biological and artificial intelligent systems
  • Using techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to model brain information processing, and, conversely, incorporating neurobiological principles in machine learning and artificial intelligence
  • Mechanistic interpretability of deep neural network models and the science of deep learning
  • Revealing principles of brain connectivity and dynamics at multiple scales
  • Using psychophysical techniques to relate sensory inputs to behavioral responses
  • Developing cognitive- or neural-level models of perception, cognition, emotion, and action
  • Representation learning and representational alignment

SNL & MIT Press Launch Neurobiology of Language

August 11, 2019 by Jeff Wilson

SNL and MIT Press Launch Neurobiology of Language

 

The Society for the Neurobiology of Language and the MIT Press are pleased to announce the launch of Neurobiology of Language. This open access journal will publish interdisciplinary articles addressing the neurobiological basis of speech and language. Steven L. Small, Dean of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas, and Kate E. Watkins, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Oxford, will serve as Editors-in-Chief.
Neurobiology of Language will publish primarily research articles, but also encourages submissions of articles reporting on new methods and data, as well as reviews and perspectives. Neurobiology of Language is an open access publication, and all content will be freely available to readers across the globe.
The editors are now accepting submissions. The inaugural issue of Neurobiology of Language will appear in 2020. More information about the journal and how to submit articles is available at http://mitpressjournals.org/nol

Proposals for Future SNL Meeting Venues Now Being Accepted

August 7, 2019 by Jeff Wilson

Call for Proposals for Future SNL Meeting Locations

The Society for the Neurobiology of Language welcomes applications to host future meetings to be held each year between September 15th and November 15th.

Proposals for the 2020 and 2021 meetings will be discussed by the SNL Board at the August meeting in Québec, so please submit applications or letters of interest before the upcoming meeting.

We seek to hold our meetings in cities that are of interest to our members (e.g., for their cultural, historic, geographic, or linguistic characteristics). The host city should be accessible from major cities worldwide.

We require a local organizing committee headed by a member of the Society who will work with the SNL Meeting Organizer to finalize meeting arrangements. SNL is interested in receiving applications for the United States, Europe, and other countries. Click here to submit an application.

All proposals will be reviewed by the SNL Board who will contact applicants for further information, as needed. If you have questions, please ">Contact Us.

SNL is pleased to announce a Student and Postdoc Career Development Panel at the 2019 Meeting. The Career Development Panel will provide our student and postdoc members with the opportunity to ask five early career researchers about their experiences in the academic and non-academic job markets. Our current student and postdoctoral representative, Angela Grant, will moderate the session and get the ball rolling with some prepared questions. The panel will feature Annika Hultén, Laurel Lawyer, Qingqing Qu, Benjamin Schloss, and David Thornton.

The event will take place on Wednesday afternoon from 12:30 – 2:00 pm in the Balcony Level Foyer. Lunch will be provided. For more information about the event and panelists, go to Student and Postdoc Event.

Due to space restrictions, we ask that students and postdocs interested in attending please REGISTER in advance.

Currently there is a wait-list for this event, but we encourage you to register and secure your position. Should additional space become available, we will contact wait-listed students and postdocs in the order in which they registered.
