	Call for Proposals: 
 
Measuring Behavior 2008
 
 
6th International Conference on 
 
Methods and Techniques in Behavioral Research
 
 
Maastricht, The Netherlands
 
26 - 29 August 2008
 
 
Measuring Behavior 2008, the 6th International Conference on Methods and Techniques in Behavioral Research, is the premier interdisciplinary event for scientists and practitioners concerned with the study of human or animal behavior. This unique conference focuses on methods, techniques and tools in behavioral research in the widest sense, from behavioral ecology to neuroscience and from psychology to ergonomics. In doing so, Measuring Behavior responds to a growing need to cross disciplines and create bridges between them; the increasing number of participants in previous meetings shows the great success of this interaction between research fields. 
 
 
Measuring Behavior 2008 contains a number of novel elements compared with previous meetings, including Workshops, compensation for tutorial instructors, and a Demonstration Showcase with a prize for the most innovative demonstration.
 
 
Call for Proposals
 
The Scientific Program Committee now invites you to submit abstracts for oral papers, posters, and other program elements. Take this opportunity to present your novel methods, techniques, and tools to an interdisciplinary scientific community, or to organize a session dedicated to a breakthrough technology. Presentations should deal with newly developed research methods, techniques or tools, or novel applications of existing techniques.
