NeuroIS Training Course 2019
A Pre‐Event of the NeuroIS Retreat 2019
THEME: Getting Started with NeuroIS: Choosing Tools,
Methodologies, and Theories
June 4, 2019, 09.00 – 16.00
Schloss Wilhelminenberg, Vienna, Austria
Tutors: Fred D. Davis, Pierre-Majorique Léger, René Riedl
Because the NeuroIS field is still in a relatively early stage of
development, it is important that interested researchers have
opportunities to learn NeuroIS concepts, including knowledge on
human neurobiology and neuroscience tools. Based on a reasonable
degree of neuroscience knowledge, academics can develop insight
that is necessary to evaluate the potential of neuroscience for
specific research areas in the information systems (IS), design
science, and computing disciplines, and to choose appropriate
tools, methods, and theories. Solid knowledge is indispensable for
researchers, reviewers, and journal editors.
The NeuroIS Training Course 2019, an offer of the Society for
NeuroIS, is designed to give participants a basic foundation in
major concepts, methods, and tools related to NeuroIS research.
This course is specifically designed to collaborate in actively
developing NeuroIS research strategies for early-stage research
ideas of interest to the participants. Participants are asked to
submit research ideas in advance, and to come prepared to briefly
present and discuss their ideas in a workshop atmosphere. The
tutors – Prof. Fred D. Davis (Texas Tech University, USA),
Pierre-Majorique Léger (HEC Montréal, Canada), and René Riedl
(University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and University of
Linz, Austria) – will provide feedback and suggestions based on
the nature of the research ideas. Participation should provide
value for IS, computer science, and management PhD students and
faculty. There are no specific prerequisites for participation.
English is the course language.
The course uses an interactive teaching approach, and it covers
fundamental themes, including the following questions: Why do we
need NeuroIS? How to conduct NeuroIS studies? What constitutes a
good NeuroIS contribution? The course takes a beginner rather than
an expert approach to the material presented, and it is mainly
based on the following book: Riedl, R. & Léger, P.-M.:
Fundamentals of NeuroIS: Information Systems and the Brain.
Springer, 2016.
Research ideas must be submitted in English to
info@NeuroIS.org<mailto:info@neurois.org> not later than May
10, 2019 (please send a WORD or PDF file). Research idea documents
may not exceed 2 pages of text and should include author name(s)
and contact information, as well as a description of: (1) problem
statement, (2) research question(s) and/or hypotheses, (3)
intended methods/tools, (4) expected contribution, and (5) key
references. Participants must be prepared to present their
research ideas at the course (the presentation must not exceed 10
minutes). Based on this presentation, the tutors will provide
their comments and recommendations. Based on this interactive
format, it is hoped that participants get a maximum of feedback on
their research ideas. Please note that it is possible to
participate without submitting a research idea document.
To register for the course, please follow the instructions
provided at
www.NeuroIS.org<http://www.neurois.org/pre-event-training-course/>.
Attendees receive a certificate of participation. This course is a
pre‐event of the NeuroIS Retreat 2019; the retreat starts with a
reception and dinner in the evening of June 4.
