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