Conference: Social Cognitive Neuroscience, April 2001, Los Angeles, CA.

第一届社会认知神经科学会议将于2001年4月在加州大学洛杉矶分校举行。这次会议将突出社会认知神经科学这一新的但快速增长的领域。研讨会将集中于社会关系和心理理论、情绪、控制和自动性、态度和态度变化、以及刻板印象和社会知觉。每个研讨会将包括使用神经成像、神经心理学或计算建模方法的研究报告。其他小组讨论将允许认知神经学家和社会科学家讨论如何使用认知神经科学的方法来测试社会科学中的重要问题。还将举行基础设施会谈，重点是制定连贯的社会认知神经科学培训计划，并为这类跨学科研究争取资金。还将举行海报会议，以便快速传播其他研究成果。非正式会议将为研究人员提供更多的机会来了解和分享他们的最新研究成果。这次会议将有助于了解NSF对认知神经科学的新重视(NSF 01-041)。

The first Conference on Social Cognitive Neuroscience will be held on the UCLA campus in April 2001. This conference will highlight the new but fast growing field of Social Cognitive Neuroscience. Symposia will focus on Social Relations and Theory of Mind, Emotion, Control and Automaticity, Attitudes and Attitude Change, and Stereotyping and Social Perception. Each symposium will consist of research reports using neuroimaging, neuropsychological, or computational modeling methodologies. Additional panel discussions will allow cognitive neuroscientists and social scientists to discuss ways in which important questions from the social sciences can be tested using the methods of cognitive neuroscience. There will also infrastructure talks focusing on developing coherent training programs in social cognitive neuroscience and securing funding for this sort of interdisciplinary research. There will also be a poster session to allow for rapid transmission of other research findings. Informal sessions will allow additional opportunities for researchers to become acquainted and to share their latest research results. The conference will help to inform the new emphasis at NSF on cognitive neuroscience (NSF 01-041).
