Conference Announcement
The Indiana University Student Organization for Cognitive Science and the Indiana University Cognitive Science Program invite you to the Midwest Undergraduate Cognitive Science Conference this Saturday, April 10, 2010, in Bloomington, Indiana.
Adina Roskies, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Dartmouth College, will be delivering the keynote address "A Measured Look at fMRI" on Saturday, April 10 at 12 noon:
"Functional MRI is an exciting new technique in cognitive neuroscience, and claims about its ability to illuminate aspects of mind range from the very overblown to the very deflationary. I will briefly explain the technique and touch on the most ambitious claims for it, but will spend more time evaluating the arguments of naysayers who claim fMRI can't tell us anything of interest. I will close by outlining two important open questions regarding the prospects for assessing the limits of fMRI."
All talks will be held in room 101 of the Psychology Building, and the poster session will be in room 106. The complete conference schedule and list of talk titles can be found at the events page.
All events are free and open to the public. Snacks will be provided throughout the day for all attendees. Meals will be provided to conference presenters.
