Welcome to the Cognitive Neuroscience Society

 

"Cognitive Neuroscience -- With its concern about perception, action, memory, language and selective attention---will increasingly come to represent the central focus of all Neurosciences in the 21st century."

Eric R. Kandel, M.D.

We at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society are committed to the development of mind and brain research aimed at investigating the psychological, computational, and neuroscientific bases of perception and cognition.

Since its founding in 1994, the Society has been dedicated to bringing its 2000 worldwide members the latest research and dialogues, so that thoughtful analysis can take place within both public and professional circles.

Our members, who are engaged in research that is related to the general areas of perception and cognition, are connected to a vast network of cutting-edge information. This information is presented, at our member-supported annual scientific conference of international members and colleagues, by well known and respected leaders in the field. This three-day program of speakers, panels, and posters addresses various aspects of cognitive neuroscience education and research.

The CNS network of over 3500 colleagues is connected via email to the most up-to-date employment opportunities, Post Doctoral fellowships, research grants, proposals, and information on related conferences.

Our members receive the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society Directory and other publications at a substantial discount.
