Elucidating the cognitive and neural mechanisms of human consciousness remains one of the greatest scientific challenges of the 21st century. We would like to invite you to join us in this endeavor and to participate in the international workshop on the “Neuro-cognitive mechanisms of conscious and unconscious visual perception” on May 19 – 21, 2010. The workshop takes place at the beautiful Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (Institute for Advanced Study) in Delmenhorst close to Bremen, Germany, which provides a unique setting for stimulating conferences. This three-day meeting is organized by the German Research Network on consciousness research and is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg. This workshop will bring together leading researchers from different fields of human consciousness research such as visual masking, attention, subliminal priming and impairments of awareness following brain-damage using different experimental approaches and methodologies (e.g., behavioral, EEG, TMS, neuroimaging, single cell recordings). A search for convergences between different views and approaches could help to foster the vision of unified theory of conscious and unconscious visual perception. The following invited speakers will present their latest research in plenary talks: Ulrich Ansorge, Vienna, Austria Bruno Breitmeyer, Houston, USA Stanislas Dehaene, Gif/Yvette, France Pascal Fries, Frankfurt, Germany Beatrice de Gelder, Tilburg, The Netherlands John-Dylan Haynes, Berlin, Germany Fred Hamker, Chemnitz, Germany Pierre Jolicoeur, Montréal, Canada Hans-Otto Karnath, Tübingen, Germany Markus Kiefer, Ulm, Germany Christof Koch, Pasadena, USA Wilfried Kunde, Dortmund, Germany Uwe Mattler, Göttingen, Germany Hermann Müller, München, Germany Michael Niedeggen, Berlin, Germany Bettina Rolke Tübingen, Germany Friederike Schlaghecken, Warwick, UK Catherine Tallon-Baudry, Paris, France Rolf Verleger, Lübeck, Germany
The program can be downloaded here In addition to these talks, a poster session will give participants the opportunity to present experimental results of their best work. The five best poster presenters will be awarded to write a peer-reviewed article for a special issue of Advances in Cognitive Psychology, in which the conference proceedings will be published. Due to the relatively small size of this conference, we expect a highly stimulating atmosphere that provides the basis for a fruitful and exciting intellectual exchange. Application for Workshop Participation There is a workshop fee of 100 € (reduced fee of 60 € for partially employed participants such as graduate and doctoral students), which covers workshop material, shuttle service from the hotel to the conference site, daily lunch, snacks and drinks during the conference breaks and a complimentary workshop dinner. Note, however, that costs for accommodation are not included in the workshop fees. As the number of participants for this conference is limited, it is advisable to apply early for participation (application deadline ended Dec. 31 2009). If there are more applications than available places, the workshop committee not only takes the time of submitting your application into account, but also strives to consider as many countries and institutions as possible when reviewing the applications. Application forms can be downloaded from the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg website at http://www.h-w-k.de/1032.html. Filled and signed forms should be faxed to Marion Daniel at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (+49 (0) 4221 9160-13119). When your application is accepted, you will receive a registration form from the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg by Email with further instruction regarding transfer of conference fees and hotel reservations. If you intend to present a poster, please submit its title and an abstract (not longer than 250 words) directly to the workshop organizers by Email (to Markus Kiefer) simultaneously with your workshop application. Poster abstracts will be reviewed and accepted depending on their quality and significance to the field. Further information regarding this workshop can be obtained from the scientific organizers Markus Kiefer, Michael Niedeggen and John-Dylan Haynes or from Marion Daniel at the HWK. |
