2014 Summer School for Cognitive Neuroscience (2014台灣認知神經科學暑期學校) will be held by National Central University and National Yang Ming University in Taiwan (two top universities in Taiwan and members of the University System of Taiwan) in 2014. The program includes several research topics involving cognitive processes such as reading, memory, aging, action, perception, attention, cognitive control, decision making, and emotion.
It is an important annual event in cooperation with Joint Research Center for Language and Human Complexity (JRCLHC), a collaboration among Peking University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the University System of Taiwan. Many prestigious speakers are invited from Mainland China (PKU), Hong Kong (CUHK), and Taiwan.
Background:
Initiative in December 2013, JRCLHC, a collaboration among Peking University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the University System of Taiwan, provides a research platform which adopts a multi-method/multi-variable approach to investigate language evolution and its impact on the developments of human mind at different levels of complexity with respect to the conceptual bases of the so-called five O’s: info, cogno, techno, bio, and geno. Two projects the center contributed to recently including the non-credit seminar series ‘Biological Foundations of Language’ and Summer School for Cognitive Neuroscience.

Goal:
The objective of the Summer School is to bring together students from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China, in order to promote and advance the development of cognitive neuroscience research.
Activities:
This year’s summer school program consists of mini-symposiums, experiments, film appreciation events, discussions, debate as well as group reports and presentations. Participants will also have the opportunities to explore the latest technologies, such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), eye-tracking, motion capture, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Courses will be conducted in English and Mandarin.
