We are very pleased to announce TEMPAL 2010, a workshop on The Embodied Mind: Perspectives and Limitations, to be held in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, on 27-28 October 2010. The aim of this workshop is to generate a critical discussion on the relevance of an embodied view for recent theories in different fields of cognitive neuroscience.

Speakers at the TEMPAL 2010 workshop:
Rolf Zwaan (Erasmus University, Rotterdam)
Alfonso Caramazza (Harvard University, Cambridge, MA)
Pierre Jacob (Institut Nicod, Paris)
Tania Singer (MPI for Human Cognitive & Brain Sciences, Leipzig)
Alex Martin (MINH, Bethesda, MD)
Harold Bekkering (Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Nijmegen)

Importantly, in addition to the individual talks, there will be three poster sessions related to the topics of the spoken sessions. We are therefore inviting submissions from PhD students, Post-docs and researchers who are interested in embodied aspects of (1) language processing, (2) social cognition or (3) conceptual knowledge. Submissions for posters are due by *July 1st 2010* and should be made online. Further and more detailed information is available on the conference website (see above).
