Join us in Boston to explore the nature of how we think!
Press registration is now open for the Cognitive Neuroscience Society annual conference, March 29-April 1, at the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston. Get great story ideas and connect with hundreds of neuroscientists, presenting some of the latest research on memory, language, aging, neurotechnology, and learning.
Highlights will include:
-
Keynote address by Adriana Galvan (UCLA): A lecture about adolescent brain development: exploring how research may be useful in supporting system-impacted youth.
-
Award lectures by Ken Paller (Northwestern University) on the benefits of sleep and the potential for sleep engineering; Marie Banich (University of Colorado, Boulder) about cognitive control and work to support intentional forgetting; Emily Finn (Dartmouth College) about the relationship between behavior and individual differences in brain connectivity; and Andre Bastos (Vanderbilt University) about the neural mechanisms for how the brain builds predictions.
-
Symposia about: how sleep shapes emotional experiences; use of VR for understanding cognition across the lifespan, including for those with Alzheimer’s and other diseases; new tools for tracking memory and real-life experiences; and more.
-
More than 1,000 posters and 50 talks covering the latest neuroscience research on learning, memory, attention, decision-making, language, music, and more.
Registered members of the press will have complimentary access to scientific talks, posters, and receptions. Session descriptions and the schedule are now available online.
