MRRI Fellowship From: Kate Lund <klund(a)aehn2.einstein.edu> FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE AND REHABILITATION RESEARCH The Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI) is accepting applications for two-year research fellowships. MRRI provides an opportunity for mutual collaboration with senior investigators in the field; educational conferences, lab meetings, and weekly patient rounds; and access to a variety of patient populations. Requirements include a PhD in a relevant area of cognitive neuroscience or rehabilitation, training in research design, and applied experience in data collection and analysis. Projects are funded through Federal agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, as well as private foundations. Individuals with the following interests are invited to apply for the 1997-1998 fellowships: Attention processes - Investigation of attentional functions in the following domains, with opportunities for cross-collaboration: 1) executive function and dysexecutive syndromes, e.g. attention and working memory in TBI and stroke patients using naturalistic action and dual-task paradigms; 2) hemispatial attention, neglect, and selection of objects for action in stroke patients; and/or 3) visual attention in TBI patients using gaze-recording techniques. A major grant-funded initiative will develop models of cognitive rehabilitation of spatial and temporal attention disorders through international collaboration. Language - Basic and applied studies of language processing, particularly involving neurological populations, with special emphasis on 1) phonological structure and processing; 2) syntax; 3) verbs and verb-argument structure; and/or 4) computational models involving corpus analysis or simulations of experimental data. Neural networks - Applications of neural networks to both theoretical and applied problems in rehabilitation research, including 1) cognitive processing and/or acquired language disorders, e.g. in stroke patients; 2) relationship between areas of muscle weakness and compensatory musculoskeletal overuse symptoms in polio and other neurologic diseases; and/or 3) prediction of functional outcomes in rehabilitation patients. Mentors include Drs. John Whyte, MRRI director; Myrna Schwartz, MRRI associate director; Laurel Buxbaum; Branch Coslett; Mary Klein; Susan Kohn; and Mary Segal. MRRI is affiliated with a number of area academic institutions and has close ties with departments of physical medicine and rehabilitation, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and bioengineering at various institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Lehigh University, and Drexel University. MRRI is an equal opportunity employer.

Australian Language and Speech Conference From: vholmes(a)post.psych.unimelb.edu.au Subject: Australian Language and Speech Conference ********************* FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT ********************* AUSTRALIAN LANGUAGE & SPEECH CONFERENCE This conference will be held: 13 - 15 November, 1997 University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia. This is the eleventh biennial Australian Language and Speech Conference. The conference provides a meeting place for researchers interested in the perception, production, and comprehension of spoken and written language. The intent is for researchers from a variety of disciplines - psychology, linguistics, speech pathology, speech science, philosophy, special education - to gather to discuss their research. Graduate students and practitioners interested in research are also encouraged to attend. Participants coming from outside Australia will be particularly welcome. Melbourne is an elegant city - bisected by a tranquil river, fronting a wide bay, and surrounded by the foothills of a range of densely forested mountains. With a population of over 3 million people of wide ethnic diversity, it is known (especially to its inhabitants) as the cultural capital of Australia. The campus of the University of Melbourne is situated in an inner-city suburb, close to parks, restaurants and shops, and is also only a tram ride or short walk to the city centre. The format of the sessions is typically 20 minute presentations with 10 minutes set aside for discussion. Three parallel sessions are usually organised. It is hoped to have at least one key-note speaker. A formal call for papers will be posted in early July, with a proposed deadline for abstracts of the end of August. Suggestions for symposia will be gladly received. ORGANISING COMMITTEE Dr. V. M. Holmes, University of Melbourne, Parkville Dr. A. E. Castles, University of Melbourne, Parkville Dr. E.
