1) Registration
fees are 240 NIS for students, and 480 NIS for
researchers and faculty. A moderate increase from last year was needed in
order to maintain the quality of the conference and achieve a balanced budget.

are exceptionally low, relative to other local and international conferences,
and are meant to cover the conference expenses only. There will be no
reimbursement in cases of cancellations. For those who need a signed receipt

Computational Properties of Basal Ganglia Neurons
4-6 December, 2017
The Leslie and Susan Gonda Brain Research Center, Bar-Ilan University
The basal ganglia play a key role in normal behavior and multiple pathologies such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, Tourette syndrome and others. There is a growing interest in the impact of intrinsic properties of basal ganglia neurons on the computational transformation of information of sub-cellular compartments, single neurons, and neuronal networks. The major difficulty in assessing the contribution of intrinsic neuronal properties to computation is the need to safely transverse several levels of neuronal computation without losing key properties of the system. The workshop aims to bring together a multidisciplinary group of experimental and theoretical neuroscientists for a series of lectures and discussions focusing on the computational properties of basal ganglia neurons. Furthermore, the workshop aims to link the basic properties of the neuronal elements of the basal ganglia with the behavioral and clinical outcome of both normal and pathological computation.

The aim of CSA is to set a conference where young scientists can disseminate their scientific contributions in a friendly and cooperative environment with the participants challenging the scientist in a fruitful debate. In particular, highly innovative research ideas as well as “in progress” research are encouraged.
Topics include (but are not limited to) all areas (and surroundings) of cognitive science: for example, developmental cognition and education, language, memory, perception, psychometrics, anthropology, economics and social sciences, neuroscience, clinical psychology, animal cognition, etc.
New this year:
1) HOT TOPIC: REPLICATION CRISIS IN COGNITIVE SCIENCES
This year we will host an invited talk by Rolf Zwaan (Professor of Biological and Cognitive Psychology at the Institute of Psychology of Erasmus University Rotterdam) on “Making Replication Mainstream”.
2) PADLET: A NEW VERSATILE TOOL FOR SHARING SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS
Starting from this year CSA will introduce the padlet for discussion! Padlet (https://padlet.com/) is an online virtual “bulletin” board. We will use it to organize a virtual blackboard where you can write (anonymously or not: you decide!) questions, comments, criticisms, etc. while the speaker is giving is talk.

Graduate Student, Tel-Aviv University
The High-Level Cognition lab (Dr. Liad Mudrik) is
seeking highly motivated graduate students to lead our research of perception
and high-level cognition. We focus on three main phenomena: semantic
integration, conscious awareness, and cognitive effects on perception. More
specifically, we ask what enables the process of judging the relations between
two objects or concepts, what are the functions of consciousness and what are
its neural substrates, and what are the relations between semantic knowledge
and perception. To tackle these questions, we use behavioral studies and
electrophysiology (EEG and intracranial recordings). Enthusiastic candidates
with excellent collaboration skills and backgrounds in Psychology, Neuroscience
or Computer Sciences are welcome to contact Dr. Liad Mudrik at mudr...@tau.ac.il. Please attach a CV.
