2019 Summer School in Social Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics
Organizers: Gregory Samanez-Larkin, Molly Crockett, Jamil Zaki and Kendra Seaman
Faculty gender ratio: 6 Women : 5 Men (55%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 37-39%
*Method of estimation: previously established base rate of women in neuroeconomics.
Organizers: Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Göttingen (BCCN Göttingen)
Invited speaker gender ratio: 4 Women : 7 Men (36%)
Estimated* base rate of women in the field: 17-18%
*Method of estimation: Since the conference is advertised as “the largest annual Computational Neuroscience Conference in Europe” we used the base rate in the field of computational neuroscience as calculated from attendance at COSYNE 2016.
