We are pleased to announce the CogNAC x CBE Workshop (28th CBE Meeting) and invite submissions for presentations. We are seeking research presentations and comprehensive overviews across a wide range of fields related to communication behavior, including psychology, neuroscience, and sociology.
This workshop is jointly organized by the Tohoku University Applied Cognitive Neuroscience Center (CogNAC) and the Communication Behavior Engineering (CBE).
Presentations on brain activity measurement experiments using methods such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) are particularly welcome.
