The Trieste Encounters in Cognitive Sciences (TEX) is a yearly summer initiative by SISSA aiming at bringing together scientists from all over the world at all levels of their careers to enjoy science, but also sunshine, food & wine.
This year’s edition focuses on “The When and the How of Decisions”, which is intended to provide a latticework background for the most fundamental of behavioral processes: collecting information about the world, deciding what to do, and when to do it. To this purpose we gather scientists who are studying decision making & time perception in the brain from different perspectives and using distinct methodological approaches (from animal electrophysiology to human neuroimaging, from computational modelling to psychophysics).
TEX 2025 will host 9 invited speakers who will give talks on the established concepts and body of evidence in their own field, and there is also room for students and post-docs talks.
You can apply by clicking on Registration on the left; and you can contribute an abstract for a short talk by clicking on Call for Abstracts, again on the left.
TEX2025 will take place between Wednesday June 25 and Friday June 27, 2025. It will be held at SISSA main campus, via Bonomea 265, Trieste. Information on how to reach us can be found here. TEX2025 will feature Xiao-Jing Wang (New York University), Virginie van Wassenhove (University Paris-Saclay), Rava Azeredo da Silveira (University of Basel), Yonatan Loewenstein (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Martin Wiener (George Mason University), Michael Sokoletsky (Weizmann Institute), Philippa A. Johnson (Leiden University), David Kastner (University of California, San Francisco), Alessandro Toso (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf).
The meeting will be held in person, and it will be also accessible online through a zoom link.
