Symposia

Symposia should provide an up-to-date overview of new findings and current theoretical or methodological trends in a specific domain. A symposium consists of four talks of 15-20 min each. Symposia organizers are encouraged to hold a short introductory talk and to add concluding remarks at the end of the symposium. Abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific committee and the Scientific Advisory Board (5 members) of the Federation, who may propose a collaboration of organizers of thematically related symposia. The scientific committee favours symposia that present convergent evidence from different methodological approaches (e.g. lesion studies, brain imaging, developmental approaches) and that have clear clinical implications.

Abstracts of symposia are structured as follows:

- Introduction (100 words)

- 4 sections summarizing individual talks: 100 words each, no subheadings.
