Multiconference Information Society 2014
COGNITIVE SCIENCE CONFERENCE


Call for Papers

This year Slovenian Cognitive Science conference will be held again as a part of the multiconference Information Society at the "Jožef Stefan" Institute, Ljubljana. We are happy to invite everybody, dealing with the subject of human mind to present your work and participate in discussion. We want to highlight the diversity of topics, problems, methods and insights that is characteristic for modern cognitive science, which is why we aim at the broadest spectrum of disciplines. Papers from all of the constitutive areas will be considered: neuroscience, philosophy, artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, anthropology, educational sciences, economy and other applicable areas. This year conference's main goal is to highlight the need for critically evaluating, exposing and discussing various ethical questions from different disciplinary perspectives in the context of cognitive science and specifically neuroscience (Neuroethics). We will try to open the space for networking, debate, and exchange of knowledge; connecting local and international, young and seasoned researchers.

The program committee will especially value works with interdisciplinary nature, attempting to bridge the gap between discipline-specific research approaches, terminologies and viewpoints.

Longer versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the interdisciplinary journal INDECS.
