The celebration of the first Nobel Prize awarded to cognitive neuroscience prods us to reach out towards language, at the frontier of human cognition. SYNTAGMA, in Trieste, http://people.sissa.it/~ale/EU_infoday/syntagma.html is a self-organizing meeting, una piazza or a crossroad, where coming from different directions we shall discuss language acquisition and its neural mechanisms. Participants generate activities/talks/discussions, with no guest invited, and all pay their expenses (although SISSA will contribute to lodging expenses, on a first-come-first-served basis). Participation means at least a couple of days in Trieste, within the range July 1-12, 2014. The registration fee is a paper, one per participant, if possible orthogonal to all others, so adding an extra conceptual dimension to the meeting. Published papers are collected on the public repository http://people.sissa.it/~ale/EU_infoday/scovazze.html for all of us to see. First allocation of lodging contributions at the end of January. Please write to me, ale@sissa.it, with SYNTAGMA in the Subject field. -- Alessandro Treves http://people.sissa.it/~ale/limbo.html SISSA - Cognitive Neuroscience, via Bonomea 265, 34136 Trieste, Italy and Master in Complex Actions http://www.mca.sissa.it/
