Abstract :
In the happy tradition of CCN conferences, another great beachside location was selected for the 14th
Annual CCN Conference. The South Australian Conference Committee, aided by the National Executive,
past Conference Chairs and other CCN members, all worked hard to organise a high-quality scientific and
professional development event. Our team effort was rewarded by many submissions of excellent papers,
posters and workshops, resulting in an outstanding single-stream program and some fascinating posters.
As chair of the conference I am extremely grateful to all Conference Committee members for their
enthusiasm and dedication throughout a very busy year: especially Treasurer Julia Kuring and National
Chair Stephen Bowden for their unfailing support and diplomacy. I would also like to thank our
valedictory speaker Professor Emeritus Gina Geffen, as well as the workshop, platform and poster
presenters, and all who attended and contributed to the meeting. The University of Adelaide, School of
Psychology very generously sponsored our student prize, and Professor Greg Lee from the Department of
Neurology, Medical College of Georgia USA deserves particular acknowledgment for graciously agreeing to
be our International Keynote Speaker.
