Workshop on Cognitive Science from Cellular Mechanisms to Computational Theories (CS-2009)

Abstract

Grantee investigated the current state of the art in how understanding of cellular mechanisms can be used to develop computational theories in the cognitive sciences. The review was conducted in a workshop setting, with three organized discussion sessions. Recognized experts were invited to cover advances in four areas: (1) Cognitive Psychology, (2) Computational Cognition, (3) Neural Circuits, and (4) Brain Imaging. All the invited speakers were asked and encouraged to participate in the three organized discussion sessions: (1) Current issues and directions in cognitive science, (2) Funding directions and mechanisms, and opportunities for collaborative research, and (3) Exchange programs and training opportunities for graduate and postdoctoral students. An edited volume based on the invited talks, ?Frontiers of Cognitive Science: From Cellular Circuitry to Computational Cognition?, is planned
