The Association for the Scientific Studies of Consciousness (ASSC)
"The Association for the Scientific Studies of Consciousness promotes rigorous analytic research on consciousness. The official purpose the organization is to encourage research within cognitive science, neuroscience, philosophy, and other relevant disciplines in the sciencesand humanities, directed toward understanding the nature, function, andunderlying mechanisms of consciousness."
Association for Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences
"On October 1, 2000, a new, international association was formed for purposes of organizing colloquia and larger conferences devoted to themes that explore the intersection of phenomenology and the cognitive sciences. Recent and upcoming meetings and workshops - Board of Advisors

European Society for the Cognitive Science of Music
Society for Philosophy and Psychology (SPP)
"The stated purpose of the SPP is to promote interaction betweenphilosophers and psychologists on issues of common concern. The SPP heldits first meeting October 24-26, 1974 at MIT. It met for a second time Spring 1976 at Cornell University. At this second meeting, conferees passeda Constitution and elected officers. Jerry Fodor, then of MIT, was thefirst SPP president. A list of current SPP officers and past officers is available on this web collection."
"The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), founded in 1973, is a research foundation, an educational institution,and a membership organization with more than 50,000 members around the world.
The noetic sciences study the mind and its diverse ways of knowingin a truly interdisciplinary fashion."European Society For Philosophy and Psychology
"The aim of the Society is to promote interaction between philosophersand psychologists on issues of common concern". Psychologists, neuroscientists, linguists, computer scientists and biologists areencouraged to report experimental, theoretical and clinical work that they judge to have philosophical significance. In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as spatial concepts, simulation theory, attention, problems of consciousness, emotion, perception,early numerical cognition, memory and time, motor imagery, externalism, connectionism, and the interpretation of neuropsychological results."
International Cognitive Linguistics Association (ICLA)
"ICLA offers a forum for research within the perspective of cognitive linguistics. This perspective subsumes a number of concerns and broadly compatible theoretical approaches that share a common basis: the idea that language is an integral part of cognition which reflects the interaction of cultural, psychological, communicative, and functional considerations, and which can only be understood in the context of a realistic view of conceptualization and mental processing.Topics of interest for cognitive linguistics include the structural characteristics of natural language categorization (such as prototypicality, metaphor, mental imagery, and cognitive models), the functional principles of linguistic organization (such as iconicity and naturalness), the conceptual interface between syntax and semantics, the experiential and pragmatic background of language-in-use, and the relationship between language and thought."
International Society for Group Theory in Cognitive Science
Society for Chaos Theory in Psycology & Life Sciences
"The Society is an international forum bringing together researchers, theoreticians, and practitioners interested in applying dynamical systems theory, far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics, self-organization, neural nets, fractals cellular automata, and related forms of chaos, catastrophes, bifurcations, nonlinear dynamics, and complexity theories to psychology and the life sciences."
American Psychological Society
Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology (SSPP)
"The Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology was founded in 1904. Its stated purpose is to promote philosophy and psychology in the Southern section of the United States by facilitating the exchange of ideas among those engaged in these fields of inquiry, by encouraging investigation, by fostering the educational function of philosophy and psychology, and by improving the academic status of the subjects. The first SSPP President was James Mark Baldwin, who served from 1904 to 1907."
