Posters - Measuring Behavior

Abstracts for poster presentations have also been peer-reviewed in the same way as other presentations, and they will also be published in the Proceedings. 

Poster session

There will be a poster session in which presentors can stand by their posters to answer questions on Thursday 16th May 14:00 – 15:00. That will be preceded (13:30 – 14:00) by a quick  (maximum 1 min per poster) ‘flash’ presentation so that the delegates know what your poster is about.  The posters will be on display for the entire conference in the same room as the refreshments and commercial exhibition. There will be a prize for the best poster.

Guidelines for poster presenters

Poster layout

We recommend posters of A0 size (841mm x 1189cm) in portrait orientation.  An A1 size will fit in landscape orientation.  The dimensions of the poster board are 954mm x 2360mm.

Make sure you clearly display the title of your poster, your name, your department or faculty and institution.  In order to make poster accessible, please remember that the colours red with green or yellow with blue are difficult to read for some people.

A strong contrast between text colour and background should be used and multiple text colours should be avoided.

Images should include a descriptive caption.

Please see our quick guide to making accessible posters.

Example showing poster on poster board

At a Measuring Behavior meeting, you will find yourself among researchers from all fields of behavioral research: behavioral ecologists or neuroscientists, ethologists, developmental psychologists, ergonomists, human factors researchers, movement scientists, psychiatrists, psychophysiologists, toxicologists, usability testers, and others. While the research questions and applications may be highly diverse, what all delegates share is an interest in methods, techniques and tools for the study of behavior.
