announce the call-for-papers for The 2003 New Perspectives in fMRI Research
Award. Please remit your Letter of Intent by October 1st, Au2002 to The fMRI
Data Center, Attn: Anne Taggart, 6162 Moore Hall, Hanover, NH 03755. Deadline

*******************************************************
NSF Cognitive Neuroscience Program. 
The new Cognitive Neuroscience program at the National Science Foundation seeks
sharply innovative proposals aimed at advancing a rigorous understanding of how
the human brain supports thought, perception, affect, action, social processes,
and other aspects of cognition and behavior. Topics may bear on core functions
such as sensory, learning, language, reasoning, emotion, and executive
processes, or more specialized processes such as empathy, creativity,
representation of self and other, music, or intentionality, among many other
possibilities. Topics may also include how such processes develop and change in
the brain. The program is particularly interested in supporting the development
of new techniques and technologies for recording, analyzing, and modeling
complex brain activity. The program also intends to foster projects that
integrate perspectives across disciplines: e.g., projects that involve
collaborations among individuals with expertise in one of the cognitive
sciences, neuroimaging, neural microcircuitry, and modeling complex systems are
strongly encouraged. Target deadlines July 15 and January 15 annually. See
http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?nsf02031
