This year's ISNR conference is going to hold some very exciting changes and an atmosphere that everyone will find very rewarding and professionally stimulating. Our conference schedule is already in place and it allows the attendee to have a very rich experience with plenty of time for educational opportunities, shopping with vendors, collegial interactions, and restorative connections.
This meeting is going to be the perfect opportunity for you to connect with Applied Neuroscience as you never have before. The meeting is being held at the Crown Plaza RiverWalk in San Antonio, TX. We are inviting presentations from clinical practitioners, academicians, researchers, trainers, coaches, physicians, etc. who wish to make presentations about applied neuroscience applications oriented to the field of neurofeedback.
ISNR conference committee will be accepting submissions for oral paper presentation, student oral paper presentation, poster presentation, workshops, commercially oriented short courses, and panel presentations.
In order to provide the attendee with the optimal opportunity for education and connecting, the program will have fewer submitted talks than in past years. There will be a limited number of oral presentations. To promote leisurely opportunities for the attendee to continue to learn about current research and clinical work the poster sessions have been expanded. There will be 3 different poster session opportunities for the presenter to disseminate their work in a relaxed yet formal manner. We are raising the standards for our poster presentation sessions and hope to make this a unique opportunity for the attendee to interact with the presenter at a collegial level. Additional guidelines can be found online HERE.
Again this year the Program Committee is pleased to request abstracts for research presentations by undergraduate and graduate students. In keeping with ISNR's goal to support and endorse excellence in the field of neurofeedback, the purpose of this call is to promote research related to treatment outcome data, identification of QEEG patterns in clinical research groups, or any relevant area of neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback). This project can be a dissertation or thesis project and must consist of original work completed by an undergraduate or graduate student. Guidelines can be found online HERE.
We are very happy this year to add a new format to the conference workshop program. This year presenters will be allowed to submit workshops under the category of "Commercially Oriented Short Course." These workshops may have content that is relevant to a particular hardware, software, technique or other concept that is provided by commercial entity. An example might include how to use X brand test in diagnosing ADHD or implementing neurofeedback technique using Y platform. These workshops are still scientific and NOT infomercials. They will adhere to the same strict standards as our other workshops; however they will provide the attendee with a unique opportunity to gain additional professionally relevant knowledge as it is applied to their specific needs. Submissions that are determined to be a commercial will not be allowed. If a submission is accepted and an attendee returns feedback that determines the workshop was nothing more than a commercial, this presenter may have to refund all attendee payments, pay for any associated costs and may be banned from submitting in the future. We are very serious in wanting to provide educational opportunities in various formats to best serve the attendee without comprising our integrity.
Along with this invitation from the 2008 ISNR Conference Committee, you will receive a "link" for internet submittal of abstracts, biographical information, and professional affiliation information related to your presentation, all of which is required for the continuing education certification compliance.
All conference material will go through this web site and the peer review process. Your idea for a presentation can only enter this process after all the submitted internet information is accepted as complete by the ISNR staff. The review process is competitive and will begin as submittals are received, thus the submittal process may be closed early. Last minute submittals are strongly discouraged. The deadline for all submittals is April 1st, 2008.
The program committee has complete discretion to accept or deny submittals and determines the form of presentation and placement within the agenda. Please be aware that scheduled times may change to accoodate the conference schedule. If you have specific time requests they MUST accompany your submittal.
Continuing with ISNR policy established in 2005, we will not accept presentations, panels or workshops which have been presented in the previous year during the conference (e.g., if a presentation, panel or workshop was presented at our 2007 conference, we will NOT accept the same work for the 2008 conference).
Digital presentations are due August 1st for loading onto our computers. ISNR will have your talk pre-loaded on the presentation computer for the venue, saving down time due to audio-visual switch-over difficulties. All communications about presentations will be through email unless authors and presenters specifically ask to be contacted by other methods.
Thanks for your interest in presenting at the 2008 ISNR meeting in San Antonio. We thank you because it is by presenting your material (whether a paper, seminar, workshop, panel, or poster) at our meeting that you are contributing to the progress of our field. We look forward to seeing you there!!
