2011 CALL FOR ESF CONFERENCE ON Brain, Technology & Cognition I : Action
"Action" is a complex topic related to perception, motivation, control, decision making, planning, intention, and a wide range of other cognitive abilities and phenomena like imitation. It will be approached from various perspectives: experimental approaches (neurophysiology, cerebral imagery, experimental psychology etc.), modelling and technological approaches (decision-making, planning, learning, embodiment, relation to perception, motor control, robotics, cognitive ergonomy, analysis and treatment disabilities etc.), social and ethical developments (including social cognition, anthropology, linguistics and philosophy). ESF, FMSH and UPMC, the co-sponsoring parties, invite scientists to submit proposals for a high-level research conference to take place in 2011 within the framework of the ESF Research Conference Scheme. Candidates may propose projects for the whole conference or a project for a topical session within the conference. The selection criteria will be scientific excellence and transversality. 
Applications for submission of proposals are now being accepted on the ESF website.
