Welcome the Second Quarter 2012 Announcements! Two meetings of note:
1. We hope to see you at AERA's 2012 meeting, "To Know Is Not Enough", in Vancouver, CA, April 13-17. We have an exciting program scheduled across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - see details on Annual Meeting Tab.
Also, Stephen Campbell and colleagues at Simon Fraser University are hosting a pre-conference workshop featuring their laboratory's efforts in Educational Neuroscience, Thursday, April 12, 10:00am–7:00pm (Fee $115)
This course will introduce methods, applications, and related initiatives and issues, such as outreach and neuroethics, pertaining to educational neuroscience. Methods include acquisition tools such as electroencephalography (EEG); eye-tracking (ET); audiovisual, screen and keyboard capture; data analysis techniques for processing EEG and ET data; and ways of integrating, synchronizing, and interpreting such diverse data sets. These tools will be applied to qualitative and quantitative research in mathematics education and educational psychology. Beginning with the premise that cognition and learning are deeply embodied phenomena, this course will be of particular interest and benefit to new and seasoned educational researchers and administrators potentially seeking to incorporate similar approaches and/or facilities within their own research and institutions.
2. Turn your attention to London for the Special Interest Group (SIG) 22: 'Neuroscience and Education' of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI), May 24 to 26, 2012 at the Institute of Education in London (UK). BNE SIG is proud to sponsor the lecture by Dr. Terry Jernigan, Director of the Center for Human Development and PING (Pediatric Imaging, Neurocognition, and Genetics) at University of California at San Diego. Register by April 30.
