Workshops A - Brain Pong in Dr. Jaime Pineda's lab (CSB 205) - Play brain pong with your mind! Using Brain Computer Interfaces and tapping into your mu rhythms, you can play Ping Pong just by thinking of movement and moving the paddle. The Cognitive Neuroscience Lab is run by Dr. Pineda.
Workshop B - Distribuited Cognition & HCI Lab- Demo Interactive Touch Tables, Pulse Pen and more getting a chance to see where CogSci is taking the Technology of the future and trying things that are not commercially available yet!
Lab tours - Visit and Learn about the Labs of Various Professors and see what Research is being done and what you can get involved in!
PARKING
Parking is free on Saturdays on campus. The closest parking lot to the Cognitive Science Building is the Muir uppers parking lot (lot 207).
From I-5, take Genessee Ave (just south of the 805/5 split). Go West on Genessee. Make a left on N. Torrey Pines Road. Make a left on Muir College Drive. Carry on through the stop sign, and turn right at the turn with no other options. Carry on to the next stop sign, and make a left. To the right is a parking lot. Look for signs for the Cognitive Science Conference! It will be down the hill to the north (by the turn around) of the parking lot.
If there is no parking in the lot, back track past the no-option turn and find parking at that lot. To see a map, check out this site, and search for "Cognitive Science Building":

Artists wanted for Conference!
Cognitive science related art...what does that mean to you?
As part of this year's Cognitive Science Conference, there will be an art show, where people can display their art and others can view it. We are asking for any kind of **cognitive science related art**-it's up for your own personal interpretation, so be creative!
Please contact our Special Events Coordinator Ryan Brenes at rbrenes@ucsd.edu for more information. The deadline to submit art is Wednesday April 2, 2008 (week 1 of spring quarter).
