The 2nd International Symposium and Workshop on Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics
2016-2-21 (Sun) - 2016-2-23 (Tue)
The Division of Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics in the Institute for Academic Initiatives at Osaka University (Director: Prof. Minoru ASADA) will be holding an international symposium and workshop according to the schedule below.
We have invited Prof. Giacomo Rizzaolatti as well as other prominent researchers in the field of mirror neuron research from inside Japan and out to discuss the past, present, and future of mirror neuron research from an interdisciplinary perspective including neuroscience, cognitive science, and robotics.
We sincerely hope that those interested will join us.

Date:
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
Venue:
Knowledge Theater, 4F, North Bldg., Grand Front Osaka
Attendance Fee:
This symposium is free to attend. However, attending the social gathering to follow requires an entrance fee.
