ASSC17 – The 17th annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness – will take place in San Diego, USA, from July 12-15, 2013. ASSC 17 is intended to promote interdisciplinary dialogue in the scientific study of consciousness. ASSC members, as well as non-members, are encouraged to submit contributions that address current empirical and theoretical issues in the study of consciousness from the perspectives of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, philosophy, computer science, and cognitive ethology. ASSC17 will provide an excellent opportunity for the presentation of new empirical findings or novel theoretical perspectives in an atmosphere that will promote discussion and debate. Attendees will include researchers, clinicians, and students at all levels, as well as interested media and the public.

ASSC17 will be hosted by the Neurosciences Research Foundation and will convene at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, right on beautiful San Diego Harbor. The venue is located directly across from San Diego International Airport and is only a 5-minute cab ride from the bustling nightlife and trendy restaurants of downtown San Diego.

Submission for poster abstracts for ASSC17 is still open. The final deadline has been extended to April 15th, 2013.

The program committee invites submissions for poster presentations on any topic relevant to the scientific study of consciousness. Each person may submit only one abstract, but may be a co-author on more than one abstract. You should be aware that there are a limited number of poster spaces available. Posters will be selected on the basis of the highest overall quality and relevance to the aims of the ASSC. All presenters must register for the conference. Registration details may be found at:

http://theassc.org/assc_17_registration

Please note that author names will be stripped from all submissions prior to review by the Scientific Program Committee to encourage the fairest possible evaluation (note that committee chairs will still have access to this information).

Due to the limited space available, we will not be able to accept all abstract submissions. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this restriction may cause.
