The accepted abstracts to be presented during the BAW 2010 Competition can be read in this PDF, as a preliminary ranking. We thank Andrei Ilie for helping with the ranking, a SOMS alumni, presently a PhD in Neuroscience at Oxford University.
The score of this preliminary evaluation is just a fraction of the final score. The oral presentation is the most important, thus it will decide the final ranking!
The oral presentations must be no longer than 10 minutes, as Power Point slides, using clear and visible fonts. Other suggestions one can find in our resources page.

Neuroscience of colors in health and disease
Encouraged by the success in 2009, The National Neurosciences Society of Romania and SOMS organizes a new brainstorming prize-competition, on the occasion of Brain Awareness Week 2010! We invite you to participate to this event which will take place in the building of the Medical Faculty, at the “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest.
MAIN EVENT – Brainstorming competition with prizes
Theme: What can neuroscience teach us about using colors to improve our lives in health and disease?
Organizers: Assoc. Prof. Mihai Moldovan (Copenhagen University), Prof. Leon Zăgrean (“Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy)
Date: Friday, march 19th, 3 p.m.
We plan to organize the main event as a brainstorming session. Students from health sciences (mainly, but not limited to medicine, biology, psychology and sociology) will be encouraged (via posters, forum postings, newsletters) to send by March 14th, 10 p.m. (GMT +2) using the form below a scientific abstract for a 10-minute presentation on a specific question related to “What can neuroscience teach us about using colors to improve our lives in health and disease” e.g.: colors and mood/mood disorders, colors as behavioral signals in humans, colors in neuro-marketing, colors in neuro-esthetics, color synesthesia/color blindness etc. Some suggestions about doing an abstract and an oral presentation in a scientific manner can be found in our resources page.
The best 10 abstracts will be announced on March 16 th, 6 p.m., during the SOMS extraordinary session, to be presented as oral 10-minute slideshows on the main BAW event. The jury will include acknowledged scientists in the Romanian Diaspora. Each presentation will be followed by a 10-minute debate with a broad panel of invited local and international experts including neuroscientists, physicians and psychologists.
As an incentive, the best presentation will be awarded.
Deadline for abstract submission: Sunday, March 14th 2010, 10 p.m. (GMT +2)
Announcement of the finalists: Tuesday, March 16th 2010, 6 p.m., during the SOMS Extraordinary Session
SATELLITE EVENTS:
1) SOMS Extraordinary Session – Neuroscience of love and colors (March 16th, 6 p.m., 3rd Amphiteatre – ground floor)
Alexandru Calin: Love: the brain’s necesity
Luisa Baca: Brain in love
Ana Spataru: Molecular aspects of human being
Alexandra Constantinescu: Why is love red?
Liana Nedescu: Dancing for you
Costel Chirita: Men vs. Women
Daniela Parvu: Art therapy
+ announcement of the finalists of the competition!
2) Neuroscience Lab Open Day (March 17th, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.; Ana-Maria Zagrean, Leon Zagrean):
Students will be guided in the Center for Excellence in Neuroscience, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
3) Interactive workshop – Neuroscience of colors in health and disease (March 17-18th, 6 p.m., Amphietheatre 5)
Organizer: Asoc. Prof Mihai Moldovan, Copenhagen University and SOMS
Invitees: Conf. Dr. Arh. Iulius Ionescu, Dean of the Faculty of Interior Architecture, “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture, Bucharest
Conf. Dr. Arh. Carmen Dumitrescu, Interior Design, “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture, Bucharest
Participants will be involved interactively in the design, data collection, analysis and presentation of the results of a small experiment related to neuroscience of colors. Such manifestations were popular during previous BAW arrangements at our university, leading to involvement of students with no previous research experience in projects finalized with published papers in international peer-reviewed journals (Ioan S et al. 2007; Ilie A. et al 2008) where EDAB support was acknowledged.
For further information, please contact us or write us at contact@soms.ro or neuroscience.romania@gmail.com
To register for the competition, we invite you to fill in the following form. Thank you and good luck!
