<div> <br>
As part of <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/stanconnect-2021-call-for-session-proposals/21698__;!!KGKeukY!hrSNcBstfmRnhMc1z28RKx17g4JI26Aey_HNUBXTbb4WZwYt9-FNgeLPbnsIZ9Uk$" target="_blank">StanConnect
2021</a>, we intend to propose a session on cognitive science
and neuroscience on November 26, 2021, time to be confirmed
(depending on the location of the majority of the speakers).<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>(If you don’t already know, Stan (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mc-stan.org/__;!!KGKeukY!hrSNcBstfmRnhMc1z28RKx17g4JI26Aey_HNUBXTbb4WZwYt9-FNgeLPbpvNwgFh$" target="_blank">https://mc-stan.org/</a>) is a state-of-the-art platform for statistical modeling
and high-performance statistical computation.)</div><div><br>
</div><div>We’re looking for contributed talks for the proposal to
StanConnect. If your are interested in giving a talk, please reply
in the following discourse thread <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/cognitive-science-and-neuroscience-stanconnect-2021-call-for-abstracts/21801__;!!KGKeukY!hrSNcBstfmRnhMc1z28RKx17g4JI26Aey_HNUBXTbb4WZwYt9-FNgeLPbh8T0svd$" target="_blank">https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/cognitive-science-and-neuroscience-stanconnect-2021-call-for-abstracts/21801</a>
with a title, a 250-words abstract, and your location/time zone.
We’ll receive abstracts until April 21, 2021 11:59 PM (CEST,
UTC+02:00). The selection will be based on an open poll in the
discourse thread for 24 hours during April 22, 2021 .<br>
<br>
Contributed talks should feature Stan implementations that are
useful for interesting problems in cognitive science and
neuroscience, including computational modeling, psychometrics,
classification and prediction, and domain-specific workflows.<br>
<br>
Submitting an abstract entails the commitment to a 10-20 minutes
talk (tbd) and the submission or link to a self-contained
notebook, such as knitr/rmarkdown or Jupyter (by November 12, 2021
). The notebook should include separate files containing the Stan
program, data, initializations if used, and a permissive license
for everything such as CC BY 4.0.<br>
<br>
The organizers of this StanConnect session welcome and encourage
contributions from all scientists. We strongly value diversity and
are committed to creating an equitable environment where human
diversity is welcomed and respected. While no list can hope to be
comprehensive, we explicitly honor diversity in: age, culture,
ethnicity, gender identity or expression, language, national
origin, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual
orientation, and socioeconomic status.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
