[Colin Allen]

The Indiana University Student Organization for Cognitive Science and  
the Indiana University Cognitive Science Program is pleased to  
announce the Midwest Undergraduate Cognitive Science Conference on the  
weekend of April 4-5, 2009 in Bloomington, Indiana.

This conference is designed to provide the next generation of  
cognitive scientists an opportunity to present their research to their  
peers from across the Midwest.

Douglas Hofstadter, College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished  
Professor of Cognitive Science, and Director of the Center for  
Research on Concepts and Cognition, will be delivering the keynote  
address on Saturday, April 4.

Students will also have several other exciting opportunities,  
including a panel discussion on graduate school (application,  
selecting an advisor, choosing a research area) and tours of IU's many  
cognitive science labs.

For undergraduates wishing to present their research:
1.     Potential speakers should send an abstract and paper to cogsconf at indiana.edu 
  by February 1, 2009. Talks will be up to 15-minutes in length,  
followed by a short question and answer session.
2.     Potential poster presenters should send an abstract to cogsconf at indiana.edu 
  by February 1, 2009.
Abstracts and papers will be peer-reviewed by the program committee  
and notifications will be sent via e-mail by March 4, 2009.

The conference will have no registration fee.  However, transportation  
and lodging arrangements will be the responsibility of the participants.

Further details will be announced as the conference date grows  
closer.  To be placed on our mailing list, send a message to listserv at indiana.edu

please contact cogsconf at indiana.edu.  Please forward and distribute
