Institute for Research in Cognitive Science


	Brain and Language Series This group began meeting in the fall of 1998, organized around tutorial presentations and discussions of background reading. Over time, it has developed into a forum for presentation and discussion of research results and research in progress, and last year, the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) joined the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) as a sponsor. Meetings take place on Wednesdays from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., roughly every other week, in the IRCS large seminar room (room 470), 3401 Walnut Street, Suite 400A. Meetings will sometimes shift to Thursday or Friday afternoons, to accommodate the schedule of a visiting speaker. When indicated below, advance reading material will be available on line, or in paper form at the time of the lecture. Special thanks go to Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Janssen Medical Affairs for their financial support of this series. Some presentations (marked ) are supported by Penn's Center for Functional Neuroimaging.
