Dear Colleagues 
    the Chairs of the XXVII Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science 
Society - CogSci05 are honoured to announce one of the richest CogSci 
ever. During the days of the Conference, Andy Clark, Paul Smolensky and 
Giacomo Rizzolatti will speak in the 3 plenary sessions. Internationally renowed researchers will hold the 8 scheduled symposia 

on classic and emerging topics in cognitive science: Connectionism and 
Psychopathology, among the others. Due to this year's success in paper 
submission (543 papers were submitted for reviewing) we extended the 
number of parallel sessions to 33, developing over the three days of 
July 21-23. 
Participants will also have the extraordinary opportunity to attend a 
debate with Jerry Fodor on July 22. 

Three prizes will be awarded during the meeting: Paul Smolensky will be 
the recipient of this year's distinguished Rumelhart prize for 
Contributions to the Theoretical Foundations of Human Cognition, funded 
by the Robert J. Glushko and Pamela Samuelson Foundation. In the 
tradition of the CogSci Meetings, the Cognitive Science Society will 
award the author of the best student-paper with the Marr prize. The 
Center for Cognitive Science in Torino will assign its 2005 Mind&Brain 
prize to Jay McClelland and Jerry Fodor. 

Two other main events will enrich this year's CogSci Meeting. On July 
20, six half-day tutorials will be presented, dealing with: COGENT 
Modelling Environment, Simulation of Human Learning, Latent Semantic 
Analysis, Eye-Movements in Visual Worlds, Event-Related Brain Potentials 
in Language, ACT-R. On July 25-26, participants will have the unique 
opportunity to attend the futuristic workshop "Toward Social Mechanisms 
of Android Science" organized by Stephen Cowley, Hiroshi Ishiguro, Karl 
MacDorman . 

We are sure you will not miss the extraordinary opportunity to join this 
higly multidisciplinar debate in Cognitive Science, hosted in one of the 
most beautiful locations in Italy: Stresa on the lake Maggiore. For 
every information about how to be there, visit the official conference
