ACCS8: 8th Annual Conference of Cognitive Science

Welcome! Annual Conference of Cognitive Science (ACCS8) aims at bringing together researchers from different scientific communities working on areas related to cognitive science. Two types of contributions are welcome: theoretical developments arising from practical problems, and case studies where methodologies are applied. The themes will broadly cover as many fields within Cognitive Science as possible and we will invite papers from domains as varied as computer science, signal processing, HCI, psychology, Linguistics, philosophy of mind and so on. Hosting this event in AMBC has the added advantage of bringing this new domain to the students and researchers from various institutes of north east India and offer them an opportunity to interact between theoreticians and practitioners. Prominent researchers from the field will deliver keynote addresses and we will also invite oral and poster presentations.

About ACCS

Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary domain that challenges researchers and scientists to examine cognitive processes and understand how the mind works, functions, and behaves. The understanding of cognition needs knowledge in different areas including Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Human-Computer Interaction, Skilling, Medicine, Anthropology, Psychology, Philosophy, and Education.

Given the interdisciplinary nature of cognitive science, The Government of India and the Department of Science and Technology had formed the Association for Cognitive Science (ACS) in 2013. In the last seven years, the ACS has been organizing an Annual Conference of Cognitive Science (ACCS) at some of the top universities in India including IIT Kanpur, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Guwahati, IISc Bangalore, BITS Goa and University of Hyderabad. This year the conference will be hosted by Amrita Mind Brain Center (AMBC), Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham at Amritapuri Campus in Kerala. Along with invited talks, we will have paper presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions etc. This 8th ACCS conference will be completely online.

About Amrita Mind Brain Center

The Amrita Mind Brain Center has been established by Chancellor Sri. Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (AMMA) to drive scientific advancements combining focused efforts from multiple schools, integrating neurosciences, experimental methods in the study of nervous systems and behavior, building medical devices, furthering understanding of neurological disorders, pave new paths in the science of yoga and meditation, advance artificial intelligence and studying the mind and consciousness. With focus on brain and mind related health and technologies, the center will orchestrate the development and application of new technologies to investigate brain function, dysfunction, and therapy.
