Intergalactic Cognitive Science


Be a pioneer! Get in on the ground floor! Launch your career into orbit! Submit a paper to the Intergalactic Journal of Science special issue on “New Perspectives in Intergalactic Cognitive Science.”

Here's the Call for Papers:
Cognitive Science is expanding at an exponential rate. However, the field is in need of unification. A unification of the how and why of the great diversity of cognitive architectures. A unification of the experiental contents now believed to be so diverse. A unification of scientific method, now varying per stellar community.

If you’ve been itching to write about “Phenomenology of guilt in a recently discovered synthetic-based species of robots” or “An experimental study on the effect of space-travel on short-term memory within carbon-based species,” then this is the journal for you.

The Neurocritic has been a forward-looking blog since its inception seven years ago today, so it’s only appropriate to celebrate by embracing the cutting edge of cognitive science.

See you in the future!

  1. Congrats on your 7th! I hope this journal publishes some studies on the 'space stupids' which is apparently a real thing.

  2. Kudos. Keep on rockin' the cosmos. The Universe is a better place for your efforts and I, for one, thank you.

  3. This is very bad; the Galactic Society of Cognitive Science, run from Beta Centauri, publishes the time-honored "Galactic Review on Cognitive Science", which helps fund the (non-negligible) travel expenses required by the Society's activities. Open access journals like these put eons of scholarly tradition in danger.

    Also, happy blogoversary!

    Anonymous - Thanks! I didn't consider the scandal over travel expenses!
