n 1979, one year after my PhD, Mike Gazzaniga, my mentor, invited me to join a meeting in Spain sponsored by the the Cognitive Neuroscience Institute (a precursor to the Cognitive Neuroscience Society). Got to hang out with heavy hitters of the day, including Dave Premack, John O'Keefe, Gary Lynch, Jon Kaas, and others. I just stumbled across these photos in a box on a shelf accidentally today.
