In addition to talks and posters, CCN 2018 will involve three exciting special events:
Meet the people most important to you! CCN 2018 will feature a computer-assisted networking event. Participants will meet and engage in conversation with a new scientist every 10 minutes. An algorithm will determine who meets whom and where. (90 min)
What it would mean to succeed at understanding how cognition is implemented in the brain? Three invited scientists with very different perspectives will challenge each other’s definitions of success. Speakers will present 15-min challenge talks and then engage each other and the audience in lively debate. (90 min)
Speakers: Jack Gallant, Dan Yamins, and Hyo Gweon
Gather in smaller groups to discuss specific challenges related to cross collaboration between the disciplines. Invited discussion leaders will kick-start the conversation with short presentations. (90 min)
Speakers: Laurence Hunt, Jane Wang, and Theresa Desrochers
Speakers: Emily Cooper; Chris Kanan; Elias Issa
Speakers: Grace Lindsay and Richard Betzel
Speakers: Laura Lewis and Daniel Yamins
Speakers: Liberty Hamilton, Urs Koster and John Murray
Speakers: Talia Konkle, Winrich Freiwald, and Dileep George
Speakers: Blake Richards and Anna Schapiro
