Exploring Trends in Cognitive Science (EXP26)

Conference Call

The Department of Cognitive and Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Pécs and the ViCE LAB research group are organising the international conference Exploring Trends in Cognitive Science (EXP26), which will take place on February 5–6, 2026. 

The primary goal of the conference is to bring together Hungarian and foreign researchers working in the field of cognitive science and to encourage the exchange of knowledge and experience between different institutions and research groups.

During the conference, invited speakers from various fields will present their latest research findings. At the same time, the conference will also provide an opportunity for other researchers to present their current research findings in the form of poster presentations. In addition, we will also provide an opportunity for research groups to present the areas in which they are conducting research.

Alongside the talks and the poster presentations, the conference features a methodological workshop focusing on advanced data analysis. The objective of this online workshop is to deliver an educational experience focused on the principles and applications of Bayesian statistics.
