Neuroscience of Emotion Posted By: David Kennedy - Feb 11, 2009Tool/Resource: Conferences, Workshops and Meetings The Neuroscience of Emotion: From Reaction to Regulation Call for Abstracts. The Tufts University Initiative on Emerging Trends in Behavioral, Affective, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience is pleased to present its third annual conference, to be held at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts (Boston area), June 4th through 6th, 2009. This conference will showcase progress made in answering fundamental questions about the nature of the affective system. What are the neural mechanisms by which this affective system operates? How does it change over the course of the lifespan or with experience? How do "hot" emotions interact with "cold" cognitive processes? How does emotional responding go awry in psychopathology, and how can we regain control when it does? The conference will promote an expanded conception of the field of affective neuroscience, one that informs (and is informed by) work taking place in the laboratories of psychophysiological scientists, neuroscientists who study human participants at different phases of the lifespan, and neurobiologists who study the neural basis of emotion in non-human animals. Planned speakers: Lisa Feldman Barrett, Margaret M. Bradley, Michael Davis, Patricia J. Deldin, John D. E. Gabrieli, Ahmad R. Hariri, Klaus A. Miczek, Charles A. Nelson III, Kevin N. Ochsner, Elizabeth A. Phelps, Mary L. Phillips, Diego A. Pizzagalli, Gregory J. Quirk, Lisa M. Shin, Nim Tottenham, Heather L. Urry, and Paul J. Whalen. The deadline for abstract submission is Friday, April 3, 2009. More information can be found on the website: http://ase.tufts.edu/psychology/newseven...
