We are pleased to host the 79th Cold Spring Harbor Symposium which will address Cognition. The Symposium will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 and end on the evening of Monday June 2 with normal departure on the following morning. The Symposium will include 12/13 oral sessions and 2/3 poster sessions covering the latest research in diverse areas of cognitive neuroscience. Most of the talks will be given by invited speakers but we may select a few talks from openly submitted abstracts. Social events throughout the Symposium provide ample opportunity for informal interactions and will include a wine-and-cheese party, a beach picnic, cocktails and banquet, and departure brunch.
