CCCP19 Symposium « Cognition, Computation, neuroeConomics and Performance »
Organizers: Vasilisa Skvortsova, Boris Gutkin, Anna Shestakova, Vasily Klucharev
Speaker gender ratio: 5 Women : 7 Men (42%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 37-39%
*Method of estimation: previously established base rate of women in neuroeconomics.
Organizers: Gabrielle Girardeau, Véronique Fabre, Christelle Peyron
Speaker gender ratio: 5 women : 5 men (50%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 38%
*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keyword sleep AND (brain OR neuro) and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 44 pages of results using our python script. We left 66 names unclassified, the base rate therefore could range from 36%-42%.

What’s New In Atlanta Neuroscience
Organizer: Sam Sober
Sponsor: Atlanta Chapter of SfN
Speaker gender ratio: 5 Women : 5 Men (50%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 38%
*Method of estimation: speakers are Atlanta-area assistant professors, therefore this base rate is based on registration of assistant professors for the 2018 Neuroscience meeting.
IBRO-SIMONS Computational Neuroscience Imbizo 2020 (ISi-CNI)
Organizers: Christopher Currin and Emma Vaughan
Sponsors: the International Brain Research Organisation (IBRO) and the Simons Foundation

ESI Systems Neuroscience Conference 2019
Organizers: Wolf Singer, Pascal Fries, Renata Vajda, William Barnes, Christini Katsanevaki, Katharine Shapcott, Cem Uran, Yiling Yang
Speaker gender ratio: 5 women : 6 men (45%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 42%
*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keyword systems AND neuroscience and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 16 pages using our python script. Search originally performed in April 2019.

Organizers: Geoffrey Schoenbaum, Jay Gottfried, Betsy Murray, Mathias Pessiglione, Mehdi Khamassi
Speaker gender ratio: 15 women : 15 men (50%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 42%
*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keyword orbitofrontal and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 5 pages of results using our python script.
The 4th Workshop On Cognitive Neuroscience Of Auditory And Cross-modal Perception
Organizers: Norbert Kopco, Erick Gallun, Piotr Majdak and Aaron Seitz
Sponsors: see here
Speaker gender ratio: 8 women : 13 men (38%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 35%
*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keyword (auditory OR cross-modal) AND perception and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 28 pages of results using our python script.
Workshop on Efficient Coding and Resource-Limited Cognition
Organizers: Michael Woodford and Rava Azeredo da Silveira
Speaker gender ratio: 2 women : 6 men (25%)*
Estimated** base rate of women in the field: 17-20%
*Note that the two women speakers are PhD students, whereas all men speakers are faculty. This further exacerbates the imbalance of men and women speakers.
**Method of estimation: Previously established base rate of women in computational neuroscience.
