This satellite meeting showcases the latest research on metacognition, in the form of both keynotes and short oral presentations. 

About this meeting

The Metacognitive Science Meeting grew out of an earlier satellite of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness focused on perceptual metacognition. We aim to be a venue for interdisciplinary discussions around all aspects of metacognition, cross-cutting psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and computer science. See our Origin Story for more on our history.

Our community represents an entirely new model of scientific community building: a roving satellite meeting, designed to approach and synergistically mingle with relevant scientific communities across philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence on an annual cycle. We aim to join a different meeting every year to best benefit from and foster interdisciplinary community building.

Where are we going next? We are so excited that this year we will be joining the Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience (CCN) conference, right before the main CCN meeting! We will be in the same location as the main CCN meeting, just a day earlier on August 11, 2025.

How to join

Registration to attend is free but places are limited, so please register early to attend. Priority will be given to registrations in the order they're received. Room capacity is limited. If we go over capacity, additional registrants will be put on a waiting list. Status as confirmed registration versus waitlist will be emailed at least one month before the main conference (we will aim for more notice than this) to all people who submitted the form by then; if you know you aren't going to be able to make it even though you did register, please let us know by clicking the 'give my spot away' button below. We hope to stream the talks live for those unable to attend in person.

We will have short talks selected from submitted abstracts. Our agenda is now up!
