Neurobiology of Cognition: 2018 Gordon Research Seminar

认知神经生物学会议将加强来自几个学科的科学家、理论家和技术开发专家之间的交流和合作。它既强调了记忆和决策等传统“核心”领域的最新发现，也强调了几个新的主题，包括：1)导致人脑认知能力的进化过程；2)机器学习对认知神经科学的影响；3)自然环境中的认知。该项目是高度跨学科的，将在人类和非人类动物中使用行为、神经成像和电生理技术的科学家与使用计算方法构建认知操作的现实模型的研究人员聚集在一起，以指导未来的实验。该奖项将为多达40名博士后和博士后实习生以及职业生涯早期的科学家提供注册或注册和旅行，以参加戈登研究研讨会(GRS)，该研讨会为与会者更深入地参与紧随其后的戈登认知神经生物学研究会议(GRC)做准备。这种形式促进了来自不同学科的研究人员和受训人员之间的密集互动，特别是实验者和理论家之间的互动。该项目约有40%是女性，这与神经科学这一分支学科中女性的基本比例大致相当。GRS和GRC将使职业生涯早期的科学家接触到承诺阐明认知基本原理的新颖、最先进的实验和理论方法。

The Neurobiology of Cognition conference will enhance communication and collaboration among scientists from several disciplines, theoreticians, and technical development specialists. It emphasizes both the most recent findings in traditional "core" areas, such as memory and decision making, as well as several new themes, including: 1) the evolutionary processes that have led to the human brain's cognitive abilities; 2) implications of machine learning for cognitive neuroscience; and 3) cognition in natural contexts. The program is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together scientists who use behavioral, neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques in humans and non-human animals with investigators who use computational approaches to construct realistic models of cognitive operations to guide future experimentation.This award will provide registration, or registration and travel, for up to 40 doctoral and postdoctoral trainees and early-career scientists to attend the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), which prepares attendees for more in-depth participation in the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Neurobiology of Cognition that immediately follows. The format promotes intensive interactions among investigators and trainees from different disciplines and, in particular, between experimentalists and theorists. The program is about 40% female, which approximately matches the base rate representation of women in this sub-discipline of neuroscience. The GRS and GRC will expose early-career scientists to novel, state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical approaches that promise to elucidate fundamental principles of cognition.
