Call for Abstracts Contributed abstracts for poster presentation at AREADNE 2012 are solicited, with a submission deadline of 14 March 2012 (notifications will be sent by 11 April 2012). We encourage authors to concentrate on aspects of their work that are relevant to the conference mission, namely, the encoding and decoding of ensemble activity, or how multiple single neurons interact. Experimental, theoretical, and methods research are all encouraged. Abstracts will be judged based on relevance to the mission, scientific merit, and importance of results. Send us your best work! Abstracts should be written in English, and are required to fit on one US letter (8.5 x 11 inches) page with 1 inch margins on all sides in a single-spaced, single-column format. Figures may be included in the abstract, but must fit within the single page and within the margins; the minimum font size for figure labels and legends should be 8 pt when scaled for inclusion. Use of templates provided below is required. Do not adjust any page, paragraph, line spacing, font, or other formatting setting. Support, acknowledgments, and references sections should appear below the abstract, in the same font size as the main text, and must fit within the one-page limit. Figures should be created at the intended size (rather than scaled down). Axis labels should be no smaller than 8 pt font. Figure captions should be brief, clear and describe the figures appropriately. Figures should not be scaled or cropped within a word processor, as this often creates compatibility issues. Figures should be rendered at 300 DPI when possible. Abstracts must be submitted in both PDF and either LaTeX, or DOC form. (Why both?) If you need to convert a file to PDF, Adobe has a free trial service at createpdf.adobe.com. Please note that we are being more restrictive about the format of submissions than for previous meetings. In particular, documents produced using Apple Computer's Pages software have had compatibility issues in the past, and so are discouraged for 2012; we strongly recommend using freely available LibreOffice software instead. Please see the template files below for additional detail.
For LaTeX (pdflatex) abstracts, see
For DOC (LibreOffice or Microsoft Word) abstracts, see Each archive linked above contains a checklist to help avoid common formatting problems. Submissions should be sent via email to submissions@areadne.org, using AREADNE 2012 poster submission as the subject line. Attach the PDF file and the LaTeX or DOC file to a message that includes the corresponding author's name, affiliation, email address and phone number. Please submit at most one abstract per first author. For accepted posters, the first author will be expected to be the presenting author.
