====== Call for Abstract & Announcement：Mental and Neural Representation for the Environment ======

Join us for the NTU-Kyoto University Cognitive Neuroscience Symposium: Mental and Neural Representation for the Environment at the National Taiwan University (NTU), Taipei, Taiwan.

The 2015 NTU-Kyoto University Cognitive Neuroscience Symposium will feature an important scientific program of keynote lectures, oral and poster sessions. This symposium brings together researchers from diverse backgrounds, all with a focus on the relationships between the mental and neural representations for the environment.
