Computational Approaches to Psychological Research

Logo

During 27-30 July 2022, the Cognitive Science Society will be delivering the 44th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society – Cognitive Diversity (https://cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci-2022/). The mission of the conference is to promote cognitive science as a discipline and to foster scientific interchange among researchers in various areas of study. It brings together researchers from around the world who hold a common goal: understanding the nature of the human mind. In order to facilitate face-to-face interactions and build community among local researchers and students with an interest in cognitive science, we are hosting the CogSci2022 Hong Kong Meetup & Symposium - Computational Approaches to Psychological Research, at City University of Hong Kong. Anyone with an interest in Cognitive Science is welcome to attend the Meetup, and registration for the CogSci 2022 main conference is not required.
