Cognitio 2017
Young researchers conference in cognitive science
Montréal, June 21st and 22nd2017
- How long are the talks?30 minutes + 10-15 minutes of questions.
- Can I submit more then one abstract?No. Just send us the one you think is the most appropriate.
- I just want to attend the conference, should I register or pay?No. Access to the conference is both open and free.
- I'd like to give a talk at Cognitio. Should I send you a complete paper?No. Just a 600 word abstract.
- How will you select abstracts?An interdisciplinary scientific committee will read and evaluate the abstracts. The criteria of selection will be:
- quality of presented research;
- comprehensibility of the theoretical or practical stakes;
- originality;
- relevance for the field of cognitive science.
- Will abstracts be blind reviewed?Yes.
- What do you mean precisely by “cognitive science”?“Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology.”(Thagard, Paul, « Cognitive Science », The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Winter 2004 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.)) [Note: Pr. Luc-Alain Giraldeau suggests adding biology to this list.]
- Can I gave a talk on a subject about wich I have already sent a submission to a journal or published an article?Yes.
- Is the conference exclusively for students?No. Speakers are mostly students but the audience is anyone interested.
- What do you mean exactly by “young researchers”?We mean “young” as researchers, age notwithstanding. It's mostly grad students, but we also get young profs once in a while.
- Can I give a conference that's been co-authored with a prof?Yes. We do expect, though, that a “young researcher ” (see previous question) will be the main speaker.
- What's the language of the conference?English. We do try to keep a significant place for French, though, as it is the official language of Quebec.
