Call for papers at First International Conference on Yawning (FICY)
This two-day meeting will bring together leading researchers to review both emerging
information and its convergence with current understanding.
Join us in June 2010 in Paris on, Thursday 24th and, Friday 25th.

It will be a great honor if you agree to speak about a topic in your field of excellence. (see
programme)
Your talk may last about 30 mn and will be followed by 10 mn of discussion.
Moreover, the proceedings of the conference will be published. I shall be the editor of this
book, the first ever published in English on yawning in all its many splendid facets.
Contributing chapters must be submitted before the end of 2009. So the book can be
presented during the conference.
