Building Meaning from Language: a conference sponsored by Tufts University,
 Department of Psychology and the American Psychological Association.
Dates: Thurs, June 14 (evening) - Sat, June 16, 2007
 Location: Tufts University in Medford, MA

May 1st: Deadline for early registration

A group of twelve speakers  from several fields including Cognitive
Psychology, Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Philosophy, Computational
Modeling, and Cognitive Neuroscience, will discuss  fundamental
questions of how we combine words to construct the meaning of sentences,
how we combine sentences together into connected discourse, how we make
use of our prior perceptual experience and knowledge, how we distinguish
between what is functionally relevant and irrelevant in action, how we
represent and generate  constructs such as time, space and causation,
and how we integrate language  with our non-verbal world.

Imperial Palace Hotel, Las Vegas
June 22 - June 25, 2007
http://assc2007.neuralcorrelate.com

The magicians at the “Magic of Consciousness” Symposium, hosted at
ASSC11 in Las Vegas, have announced the topics of their presentations.

Teller, of Penn & Teller, will speak about the difference between motion
and action

“Action is motion with a purpose”

Apollo Robbins, Professional Thief and Pickpocket, who successfully
pickpocketed the presidential secret service guarding Jimmy Carter, will
discuss:

“Misdirection is the story that you make them remember”
Or how the audience believes what they are tricked into believing,
despite evidence to the contrary

Mac King, headliner at Harrah's on The Strip, will speak about why:

“It’s a bad idea to do the same trick twice”,
And why magicians never announce their tricks in advance

James Randi, aka The Amaz!ng Randi, and Founder of the James Randi
Foundation will present:

“Implying data that isn’t there”
Or how an audience can be lulled into eagerly accepting suggestions and
unspoken information

Johnny Thompson, from The Great Tomsoni and Co. will talk about:

“Closing all the doors”
Or the importance of reducing all potential explanations to nothing but
magic

Special Section on Source Memory (Conference/Symposium/Event)

Call for Papers: Special Section on Source Memory: Integrating Cognitive
Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience Approaches

The Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition
invites manuscripts for a special section on source memory, to be
compiled by guest editors Marcia K. Johnson and Mieke H. Verfaellie,
working together with journal Associate Editor John Dunlosky. The goal
of the special section is to showcase high-quality research that brings
together behavioral, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging approaches to
understanding the cognitive and neural bases of source memory. We are
seeking cognitive behavioral studies that integrate cognitive
neuroscience findings in justifying hypotheses or interpreting results
and cognitive neuroscience studies that emphasize how the evidence
informs cognitive theories of source memory.  In addition to empirical
papers, focused review articles that highlight the significance of
cognitive neuroscience approaches to cognitive theory of source memory
are also appropriate.
The submission deadline is June 1, 2007. The main text of each
manuscript, exclusive of figures, tables, references, or appendixes,
should not exceed 35 double-spaced pages (approximately 7,500 words).
Initial inquiries regarding the special section may be sent to John
Dunlosky (jdunlosk@kent.edu), Marcia K. Johnson
(marcia.johnson@yale.edu), or Mieke H. Verfaellie  (verf@bu.edu).
Papers should be submitted through the regular submission portal for
JEP: Learning, Memory, and Cognition
(http://www.apa.org/journals/xlm/submission.html) with a cover letter
indicating that the paper is to be considered for the special section.

fMRI Visiting Fellowship Program (Conference/Symposium/Event)
Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, , Massachusetts General Hospital

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  October 1-5, 2007 

 The October 1-5, 2007 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.

registration, accommodation, etc., consult the web page at:

University of Texas at Austin

A postdoctoral position in cognitive neuroscience of memory is available
beginning Fall 2007. Our research focuses on understanding memory and
how it is implemented in the human brain. Using high-resolution fMRI
techniques, the lab explores how specific brain regions make unique
contributions to memory processing and how such structures may interact
with other brain regions involved in perception, attention, emotion, and
other cognitive processes.

The University of Texas at Austin provides an outstanding environment
and resources for neuroscience research, including a state-of-the-art,
research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner. The successful candidate will become
a part of the newly established Center for Learning and Memory, which
supports interdisciplinary research devoted to understanding the
biological mechanisms supporting memory function integrating across the
fields of molecular biology, genetics, physiology, psychology,
pharmacology, engineering, physics, and computer science.

Desirable candidates will have a background in neuroscience, psychology,
and memory research, previous experience with fMRI methods, and strong
quantitative and computer skills. Applicants should send a cover letter,
