Primate Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School
July 28-August 9, Gustav Stresemann Institute, Bad Bevensen
Organizers: Hansjörg Scherberger, Alexander Gail, Igor Kagan, Raymundo Báez-Mendoza and Stefan Treue
The Primate Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School series has been running since 2019 and will now take place for the third time in summer 2024. The Summer School focuses on cognitive processes in sensory and motor neuroscience in primates, with special relevance given to social contexts and decision-making processes. Animal welfare, ethical issues in neuroscientific research on primates and scientific communication will also be covered. In addition to the teaching units, the lecturers are also available for individual discussions on research projects, career development issues and scientific networking. All participants will also present their research on posters. The event is aimed at doctoral students and postdocs with an interest in cognitive and systemic neuroscience with non-human primates. The Summer School is a joint event of the Leibniz ScienceCampus Primate Cognition, the SFB 1528 Cognition of Interaction, and the German Primate Center. -> Further information and registration

Workshop at the IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning, Austin (Texas, USA), May 20
This workshop is organised by SFB members Neda Shahidi and Nivedita Mani together with Melissa Franch (Baylor College of Medicine, Houston) and will bring together developmental psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists to discuss recent developments in learning research in primates. The workshop will close with a panel discussion on designing artificial agents to interact with human and non-human primates. The workshop will take place in Austin, Texas. Details can be found on the workshop website.
