Professor Posner presented the Tenth Annual George A. Miller Distinguished Lecture at the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society Spring of 2004. He was too ill to complete the lecture so it has been placed on this website for viewing.  The lecture will consist of the slides and Dr. Posneršs talk.  The first 15 minutes are as presented during the meeting and the rest is what would have been presented.

 

The prize is sponsored by the James S. McDonnell Foundation to honor George Miller for his unrelenting efforts to establish the field of cognitive neuroscience.
