Translational Neurocognitive Technologies
| Cognitive Neuroscience. Responsible AI. Clinical Application. |

The CoDesign Lab EU Frontier 2026 talk series centralises the themes of translational clinical neuroscience and next-generation responsible neurocognitive technologies. The series brings together researchers from neuroscience, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, engineering, and data science to explore the mechanisms of brain function in health and disease.

The series emphasises interdisciplinary methodologies linking neuroimaging, molecular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, computational cognitive modelling, computer science, and cognitive science to drive innovation and societal impact with ecologically valid diagnosis, monitoring, and intervention in real-world clinical contexts.

19th European Workshop on Imagery and Cognition

EWIC is a biennial workshop dedicated to the study of mental imagery and spatial cognition. Other topics of interest to the EWIC include (among others): perception, attention, working memory, language comprehension, impact of new technologies. Since the first workshop held in Orsay, Paris in 1986, the EWIC has given scientists from all over the world the chance to share their research in a friendly and scientifically inspiring atmosphere. This festive edition marks 40 years since the first meeting!

CoDesign 2017 — The Bremen Summer of Cognition and Design
CoDesign 2017 — The Bremen Summer of Cognition and Designhcc.uni-bremen.de

CoDesign 2017 consists of mutually complementary events in the areas of:

  • artificial intelligence
  • visuo-spatial cognition
  • multimodality and interaction
  • design computing and cognition
  • design creativity
  • human-behaviour studies

Agenda
CoDesign 2017 offers a series of seminars and lectures by leading international researchers, workshops & symposia, tutorials, experiments in visual perception, and public lectures & exhibitions. Spatial cognition and computation, embodied design thinking, and human-centred design engineering from the viewpoints of diverse design domains are of prime focus. Design domains being considered include architecture and the built environment, product design, (digital) narrative media design, and visual art design in its many diverse forms. The synthesis of visuo-locomotive cognitive experience from the viewpoint of integrated computational and empirical evidence-based methods is of special interest.

This workshop will provide an interdisciplinary platform for the discussion of all topics connected to shape (broadly understood): perspectives from psycho-linguistics, ontology, computer science, mathematics, aesthetics, cognitive science and beyond are welcome to contribute and participate in the workshop. We seek to facilitate a discussion between researchers from all disciplines interested in representing shape and reasoning about it. This includes formal, cognitive, linguistic, engineering and/or philosophical aspects of space, as well as their application in the sciences and in the arts.

Impact Factor: 1.311
5-Year Impact Factor: 1.452
Special Issue: Computing for Spatial Design Assistance
Workshop:SHAPES 1.0. The Shape of Things
Context 2011, Karlsruhe, Germany

This workshop will provide an interdisciplinary platform for the discussion of all topics connected to shape (broadly understood): perspectives from psycho-linguistics, ontology, computer science, mathematics, aesthetics, cognitive science and beyond are welcome to contribute and participate in the workshop. We seek to facilitate a discussion between researchers from all disciplines interested in representing shape and reasoning about it. This includes formal, cognitive, linguistic, engineering and/or philosophical aspects of space, as well as their application in the sciences and in the arts.

Latest update (Sep 2009): The Journal of Spatial Cognition and Computation has been accepted by Thomson Reuters (formerly ISI), and will be listed in both the Social Sciences Citation Index and Current Contents/ Social & Behavioral Sciences. JSCC will receive its first Impact Factor in June 2011. Coverage begins retrospectively starting Volume 8, Issue 1 (2008).
Call for Papers: Journal of Spatial Cognition and Computation
Call for Papers: Journal of Universal Computer Science
We invite contributions for a special issue of the Journal of Universal Computer Science, focusing on the recent ‘‘ADVANCES IN SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL REASONING': contributions reporting new theoretical advances related to any aspect of spatial and temporal reasoning, construction of new spatial calculi that serve application-specific needs, the formal modeling of dynamically varying spatial knowledge, the role of commonsense reasoning and non-monotonic forms of inference in a spatial context, and techniques and tools that are consistent with standard results within the community from an ontological and computational viewpoint.
