In other related news, two satellite symposia are
scheduled for April 8. See the proceeding copy for details-

“Unraveling the Mysteries of Meaning in the Brain:
Contextual Cues to Language Comprehension”
Satellite Symposium of the 2006 Cognitive Neuroscience Society Meeting
Hyatt Regency Ballroom, San Francisco, Saturday, April 8, 2006,
1:30pm-5:00 pm

Words and sentences can mean so many things, depending on a multitude of
factors such as who is speaking, who is listening, and the context of
the utterance. This satellite symposium will investigate the role of
context in language comprehension. It will begin with a theoretical
perspective on a parallel architecture for language processing by Dr.
Ray Jackendoff. It will then proceed with a group of stellar speakers
who have used data from ERPs, fMRI, eye-tracking and patient studies to
examine how a variety of contextual factors affect the brain's response
to words in sentences. Speakers: Tamara Swaab, UC Davis, (Chair); Ray
Jackendoff, Tufts Univ.; C. Christine Camblin UNC-Chapel Hill; Jos van
Berkum, Univ. of Amsterdam; Gina Kuperberg, Tufts and MGH, Seana Coulson
UC San Diego. Sponsored by Elsevier and the Center for Mind and Brain,
University of California Davis.  REGISTRATION and additional

“Multi-Modal Functional Neuroimaging”

Satellite meeting to OHBM 2006

Sponsored by The Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging

Friday June 9 and Saturday June 10, 2006

Cortona, Italy (one hour south of Florence, in the town featured in
“Under the Tuscan Sun”)

http://www.martinos.org/events/cortona2006/

Registration is now open



Whereas individual imaging technologies are advancing our understanding
of the functioning brain along specialized directions, a comprehensive
picture will only emerge from the integration of multiple technologies
that provide complementary information of the dynamic processes and the
underlying morphological and biochemical structure.  This requires
significant advances to integrate the different technologies and to
analyze the results.  As efforts around the world are beginning to
tackle these challenges, this meeting will bring together the experts
from the disparate fields to envision and plan future approaches and
applications for the multi-modal fusion to gain greater knowledge of the
healthy and diseased brain.



Bruce Rosen, MD, PhD?

Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging


******************************************************************************************************
The Visiting Fellowship Program in Functional MRI continues to be
offered three times per year in Charlestown (5 minutes from Boston),
Massachusetts.  It is sponsored by the MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A. Martinos
Center for Biomedical Imaging.



   The next program is scheduled for  March 6-10, 2006. 



 The   March 6-10, 2006 program is a 5-Day intensive workshop.
Participants attend lectures, have ample time for informal discussion
with the lecturers, attend a "demonstration" fMRI experiment, get some
hands-on experience with data analysis, design a group fMRI experiment,
and implement, execute, and analyze the data from that experiment.



   The main focus is on the basics of the physics, experimental design,
and data analysis of fMRI-based experiments.  It serves as a rapid and
thorough introduction to people new to the field, who are considering
active research or are planning and carrying experiments based on fMRI.
 Many laboratories have found this an efficient way to get new people
started (in contrast to having to wait for a full semester's normal
academic program).  Participants with a modest amount of experience in
an fMRI-based laboratory, and who are ready for a more thorough
presentation of the foundations, also report getting a great deal from
the program.



   The emphasis continues to be on theoretical basics, with hands-on
experimental design workshops and detailed discussion of issues
associated with data analysis and data-analysis-software packages.
However, this is not primarily a course designed to teach participants
the details of using any specific package.

 SECOND CALL for illusion submissions: The 2nd Annual Best V
(Conference/Symposium/Event)

***************** The Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest
******************

Submit your illusions to The Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest
today!! http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com

The deadline for illusion submissions is February 15th!

Last year’s contest was a huge success, drawing numerous accolades from
attendees and international media coverage. The First, Second and Third
Prize winners were Arthur Shapiro and Justin Charles (Bucknell
University, USA), George Mather (Sussex University, UK), and Dejan
Todorovic (University of Belgrade, Serbia). To see the illusions and
other highlights from the
2005 contest, go to
http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&;PAGE_
user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=3&MMN_position=13:3.

In order to make the contest more easily accessible to a larger
proportion of the world’s vision science community, and to increase the
public impact of this celebration of vision research, the 2006 contest
will be held during the same week of the VSS meeting, in Sarasota,
Florida. The contest will be held on Monday, May 8th, in the Van Wezel
Hall, during the VSS afternoon
break: 3pm – 5pm.

Visual Illusion Contestants are invited to submit novel visual or
multimodal illusions (unpublished, or published no earlier than 2005) in
standard image, movie or html formats. An international panel of
impartial judges
(http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&;PAGE
_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=45&MMN_position=21:21) will rate the
submissions and narrow them to the top ten. Then, at the Contest Gala in
Sarasota, the top ten illusionists will present their contributions and
the attendees of the event (that means you!) will vote to pick the TOP
THREE WINNERS!

Illusions submitted to the 2005 contest can be re-submitted to the 2006
contest edition, as long as they meet the above requirements and were
not among the top three 2005 winners.

Submissions will be held in strict confidence by the panel of judges and
the authors/creators will retain full copyright. As with submitting your
work to any scientific conference, participating in to the Best Illusion
of the Year Contest does not preclude you from also submitting your work
for publication elsewhere.

Submissions can be made to Dr. Susana Martinez-Conde (Illusion Contest
Coordinator, Neural Correlate Society) via email
(smart@neuralcorrelate.com) until February 15, 2006. Illusion
submissions should come with a (no more
than) one-page description of the illusion and its theoretical
underpinnings (if known). Illusions will be rated according to:

• Significance to our understanding of the visual system • Simplicity of
the description • Sheer beauty • Counterintuitive quality • Spectacularity

Visit the illusion contest website for further information and to see
last year’s illusions: http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com

Submit your ideas now and take home this prestigious award!

The focus of research is on language development and acquisition. More
specifically, we are interested in cerebral representation of language
in infants and children. We employ a combination of electrophysiological
and functional neuroimaging methods (EEG, NIRS) to characterize the
neural correlates of specific language functions during their respective
development. Our interdisciplinary team is part of an imaging group
within the field of cognitive neurosciences and extends into a group
working on the physiological basis of imaging techniques.
The applicant should have a Diploma, Master, Bachelor, or PhD? in a field
related to cognitive neuroscience (e.g. neuroscience, psychology,
medicine, linguistics) or in the field of engineering, physics, or
