CAN lab lab manager Matt Kmiecik and co-director Dr. Morrison traveled to Berlin, Germany to attend the 35th meeting of the Cognitive Science Society where Matt gave a talk describing their collaboration to understand the time course of verbal analogical reasoning using EEG. Dr. Morrison also presented collaborative work with Sean McCarthy on the role of incubation in insight problem solving. A great experience was had meeting scientists all over the world. The work they discussed was funded by generous grants from the Provost and Mulcahy fellowship programs, and travel was supported by Grants from LUROP and the College of Arts and Science's Dean's Office.
Matt and Bob then traveled onto Dijon, France were Dr. Morrison helped to organize the Analogy 2013: The 3rd International Conference on Analogy. The conference, originally started by the late Boicho Kokinov brought researchers from many different disciplines and countries together to discuss their work on analogy.
