The Russian Association for Cognitive Studies and the Cognitive Science
Society invite submissions for The Second Biennial Conference on Cognitive
Science organized by the St. Petersburg State University and the Government

emotion and higher forms of behavior. Psychologists, linguists, neuroscientists,
specialists in artificial intelligence and neuroinformatics, computer
scientists, philosophers, anthropologists, as well as other researchers
interested in interdisciplinary research on cognition, are invited to
submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations.
The working languages of the conference will be Russian and English.
The conference program will include overview lectures by leading experts
in cognitive science, round tables, oral papers, posters, and a special
session for students and junior researchers. The invited speakers are
