Cognitive Neuroscience Society


The Cognitive Neuroscience Society is an international academic society interested in multi-disciplinary approaches to cognitive brain function. Drawing primarily from the biological and psychological sciences, society members are involved in cognitive neuroscience research that attempts to integrate our understanding of the brain and mind.
Founded in 1994 by six scientists, Michael S. Gazzaniga, George R. Mangun, Steve Pinker, Patti Reuter-Lorenz, Daniel Schacter, and Art Shimamura, the society brings together scientists from many different fields in its annual meeting held each spring, featuring a program of plenary speakers, symposia, posters, and special events, covering all aspects of cognitive neuroscience research. The Cognitive Neuroscience Society also publishes the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience with the MIT Press.
