CNS2026 Vancouver

The 2026 annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS)will take place in Vancouver, Canada, March 7–10, 2026. This meeting always features outstanding presentations across many areas of cognitive neuroscience.

This year it is worth highlighting a broad spectrum of exciting research in the cognitive neuroscience of language.

On Saturday, March 7, Professor Peter Hagoort will give the keynote lecture: “Our Language-Ready Brain.”

We also host an invited symposium on Tuesday March 10, between 10am-12pm, titled: How the Brain Creates Language: Insights from Genes, Neural Pathways, Neuroprosthetics, and Computational Models.

We will showcase the breadth of current work featuring four outstanding speakers: Reyna Gordon Gordon, Genetic Foundations of Human Language; Stephanie Forkel Forkel, The Neuroanatomy of Language Pathways; Eddie Chang, Neural Codes for Speech, and Jean-Rémi King , Modeling the Emergence and Processing of Language in the Human Brain.

Hope to see you at CNS!
