Dear Social and Personality Psychologists:
I am writing to remind interested parties that the deadline for poster abstract submissions for "The Neuroscience of Emotion: From Reaction to Regulation" conference, which runs from Thursday, June 4, to Saturday, June 6, is quickly approaching this Friday, April 3, at midnight Eastern time. The program will run in the evening on Thursday (approximately 5:00-8:00 pm), and then all day Friday and Saturday (approximately 9:00 am to 5:30 pm). The schedule for the talks will be published on the conference website by Friday, April 10. Please see further details below -- I hope to meet some of you here in the Boston area.
Cheers,
Heather Urry

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.
Invited 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 poster abstract submission is Friday, April 3, 2009.
Posters must be first-authored by a trainee.
