IDAC, Tohoku Univ. International Symposium: New Frontiers in Social Cognitive Neuroscience

社会認知神経科学における最前線の研究を集結した国際シンポジウムを開催致します。
主に機能的磁気共鳴画像法(fMRI)を用いて社会認知神経科学の謎に迫った第一線の研究者の話を聞くことができる、またとない機会であります。若手の皆様には、研究内容を発表する良い機会となりますポスターセッションを用意いたしました。さらに、演者との交流の場として懇親会も用意してございます。
心理学、脳科学を始め、社会認知神経科学にご興味をお持ちの皆様のご参加を心 よりお待ち申し上げます。

We will be holding an international symposium for the new frontiers of social cognitive neuroscience. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear talks by researchers in the field who chiefly used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to approach the mysteries of social cognitive neuroscience. A poster session has been prepared to announce contemporary research to young researchers. In the evening, there will be a reception for discourse with the presenters. Those who are interested in social cognitive neuroscience, psychology and brain science, we eagerly await your attendance.
