Dear Colleagues,
We would like to remind you that abstract submissions (for on-site and virtual symposia, talks, and posters, as well as virtual presentations) for the 12th annual BCCCD meeting will be accepted until September 30, 2021 (one week from now).
We are still hopeful that the conference, organized by The Cognitive Development Center at CEU, can be arranged in a hybrid format (January 6-8 & 10-14, 2022) and we will see many of you at Budapest.
As stated before, the first, on-site component will take place at the Budapest campus of CEU, from 6 to 8 January. As usual, this section will include invited and submitted talks and symposia, as well as poster presentations. While mainly an in-person event, emphasizing face-to-face networking, talks and symposia will be streamed online during this component with additional virtual participation options.
A second, virtual component will take place online during the subsequent week, from 10 to 14 January. On-site participants will take part in this component as well but we welcome additional submissions of empirical and theoretical work from those who prefer or are able to present only virtually. All presenters will have their dedicated channel on an online platform, with their material (video & other) uploaded directly into the channel, so that attendees will have access to the presentations that they can discuss in the same space. Additionally, presenters will be asked to be online in their channel during assigned sessions, so that participants in all time zones can attend each other's presentation slots.
Regarding the symposia submissions, please indicate also your preferences whether you would be able to attend the on-site conference and present in person at Budapest, or you would prefer to join only the virtual component of the conference. (You can submit a symposium proposal for either fully on-site or fully virtual format. So in case some speakers can only make it online, we ask you to submit for the latter, fully virtual format where all speakers present their talks during the online part of the conference.)
We are committed to create an impactful and inclusive conference in spite of the changing circumstances. With this hybrid format, we want to ensure that all registered participants will be able to benefit from similar opportunities during BCCCD22.

The Neuroethology of Communication Lab
<http://etologia.elte.hu/en/neuroethology-of-communication/>, headed by
Attila Andics, invites applications for two full-time Postdoctoral
Researchers. The postdocs will contribute to the ERC-funded research
project VOIMA <https://erc.easme-web.eu/?p=950159> that combines ethology
and non-invasive brain imaging (EEG, fNIRS, fMRI) to explore the neural
bases of voice and speech processing in dogs, pigs and humans.
The successful candidate will have completed a PhD in cognitive
(neuro)science, psychology, biology, psycholinguistics or a related
discipline, and have a good publication record that includes neuroimaging
studies. A strong experience in EEG/ERP (PD1) and/or fNIRS/HD-DOT (PD2)
data analysis is required. Candidates with an additional background in
auditory/speech sciences or dog/pig ethology, experience with comparative
fMRI, and strong technical skills (competence in R, Matlab, Python, and/or
advanced neuroimaging analysis methods) are preferred. Candidates are
expected to have excellent scientific writing skills, to be able to work
independently, but also in a multidisciplinary team.
The lab is hosted by the Department of Ethology, Eötvös Loránd University
(ELTE) <http://etologia.elte.hu/en/home-2/>, Budapest, Hungary, a
world-leading centre of ethological and brain imaging research in dogs.
This is a truly vivid, dynamic, multidisciplinary, international community,
with unique expertise in performing experiments with companion animals. We
cooperate with two imaging centres with 3T MRI scanners, and provide
in-house access to EEG/ERP and a brand new fNIRS/HD-DOT lab. Animal
touchscreen, motion tracking sensors, and multiple behavioural and training
labs are also available on site.
The positions are available from September 2021, but the start date can be
flexible. We will begin reviewing applications immediately, and continue
reviewing them on a rolling basis until the positions are filled. Salary is
commensurate with experience, and includes health benefits.
To apply, please send your CV, a motivation letter and contact information
of two references to Attila Andics (attila.andics(a)ttk.elte.hu), preferably
by 25 August. Feel free to ask for additional information if needed. The
Neuroethology of Communication Lab is committed to fostering an inclusive
and diverse environment, and seeks applications from all qualified
individuals from all demographics and backgrounds.

Dear Colleagues,
The Cognitive Development Center at CEU is pleased to announce the 12th annual BCCCD meeting in Budapest, Hungary (BCCCD22, January 6-8 & 10-14, 2022).
Given the unpredictable development of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lessons learned from last year's virtual events, we have decided that BCCCD22 will be arranged in a hybrid format and will consist of two components.
The first, on-site component will take place at the Budapest campus of CEU, from 6 to 8 January. As usual, this section will include invited and submitted talks and symposia, as well as poster presentations. While mainly an in-person event, emphasizing face-to-face networking, talks and symposia will be streamed online during this component with additional virtual participation options.
A second, virtual component will take place online during the subsequent week, from 10 to 14 January. On-site participants will take part in this component as well but we welcome additional submissions of empirical and theoretical work from those who prefer or are able to present only virtually. All presenters will have their dedicated channel on an online platform, with their material (video & other) uploaded directly into the channel, so that attendees will have access to the presentations that they can discuss in the same space. Additionally, presenters will be asked to be online in their channel during assigned sessions, so that participants in all time zones can attend each other's presentation slots.
We are committed to create an impactful and inclusive conference in spite of the changing circumstances. With this hybrid format, we want to ensure that all registered participants will be able to benefit from similar opportunities during BCCCD22.
Submissions for on-site symposia, talks, and posters, as well as virtual presentations will be open on 1 September and will be due by 30 September.

Dear Cognitive Folks,
The next Fluencia Party will be held be on 20th December (Friday) starting
at 8.00 pm in Élesztő (Tüzoltó utca 22).
Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/883874198699325/
Fluencia is a monthly organized informal "jamboree" for cogsci-,
psychology-related students (undergrads, grads), professors, researchers
from many different universities in Hungary. The idea and motivation are to
facilitate interactions, communication, collaboration among researchers
working here, get to know others and others' interests, topics, etc. And,
of course, to have some drinks and fun in a friendly environment.
Everybody is welcome to attend! If you have any further questions, do not
hesitate to ask.
All the best,
Dezso
