Special Session on Neural Correlates Of Cognitive-Motor Robotic Neurorehabilitation at International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation (ICNR 2020)

Special Session on Neural Correlates Of Cognitive-Motor Robotic Neurorehabilitation at International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation (ICNR 2020)

Organizers: José L. Pons & Diego Torricelli (Program Chairs)
Invited speaker gender ratio: 3 Women: 8 Men (27%)
Keynote speaker gender ratio: 1 Woman: 2 Men (33%)
Estimated base rate of women in the field: 17%*
BWN rating: 3

*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keywords robotic AND neurorehabilitation within NINDS (Neurological Disorders and Stroke) agency, and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in 1 page of results using our python script.

ReplaysInParis: Hippocampal Replay, Emotional Valence and Reinforcement Learning

ReplaysInParis: Hippocampal Replay, Emotional Valence and Reinforcement Learning

Organizers: Benoît Girard, Mehdi Khamassi and Karim Benchenane
Sponsor: RHiPAR project of the 80|PRIME CNRS program
Speaker gender ratio: 3 Women : 5 Men (38%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 37%

*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keyword replay OR (hippocampus AND memory) and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 60 pages of results using our python script. We left 39 names unclassified, the base rate therefore could range from 36%-39%.
