Tag: Implicit Learning Seminar

Officially kicked off the pre-conference period of the Implicit Learning Seminar with a productive lab meeting followed by fun dinner with Panos Athanasopoulos, Silke Brandt, Katharina Braungart, Morten Christiansen, Guillaume Thierry,  and Christine Schoetensack, co-hosted with fellow organizers, Kirsty Dunn and Rebecca Frost.

Fun volunteer meeting today to get our delegate packs ready! Fabulous volunteers drawn from the brilliant postgraduate programs at Lancaster’s Dept of Linguistics and English Language and the Dept of Psychology. Note: In case you’re wondering, Rebecca is holding our conference ponchos on the bottom right picture, one poncho (with conference name) for each delegate. Katharina is wearing our limited edition conference t-shirts… For more pics, check out #ILSLU on Twitter.

Just finished uploading the final version of our conference program! Please download here (delegates will receive a hard copy in their packs).

We’re absolutely thrilled with the program – an amazing line-up of speakers, with great coverage of key topics. Particularly happy to bring together leading researchers from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, computer science, linguistics, all of whom share an interest in the cognitive and neural bases of implicit-statistical learning. The Fifth Implicit Learning Seminar represents the perfect forum for discussion.

Had some fun looking at presenter statistics for the upcoming Fifth Implicit Learning Seminar. The conference has 178 presenters (including keynotes, papers, and posters). Our presenters represent 72 universities from 19 countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland , UK, and USA. Top three countries represented? UK (18 universities), USA (10), and France (5). Very much looking forward to welcoming our presenters and delegates to Lancaster soon!
