The big Annual Cognitive Science Meeting, CogSci2021, will be held in Vienna 26th–29th July this year and we are organizing it. Since the theme is “Comparative Cognition - Animal Minds” it would be great to have a very strong showing from cognitive biology and behavior.
Deadline for submissions is 3 Feb (a bit more than two weeks): here’s the website:
cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci-2021/
Not only are there the usual paper and poster sessions, but we also invite symposia and workshop proposals (hormones? stats? video analysis? etc).
Invited plenary speakers are:
