4th Neurovation symposium in Utrecht

The 4th Neurovation symposium will be held on October 6-7, 2014 in the conference center of het Muntgebouw in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The theme of Neurovation 2014 is “Technological applications in neurocognition” and it concerns the measurement and influencing of the brain using non-invasive or invasive technologies.

The symposium intends to gather people with a variety of backgrounds who are active in the field of Brain and Cognitive Science on topics as diverse as brain stimulation, healthy aging, mental wellbeing, new technology for measuring brain signals, fundamental and applied research, clinicians, policy makers, as well as those looking for business opportunities. Invited presentations of distinguished scientists and business visionaries will fuel discussion on the applications that are relevant for society at large, and foster the formation of an innovation community.

Program

The program comprises two days of single-track keynotes and lectures and an evening session with interaction over dinner. Neurovation 2014 strives for a good balance between presentations and interaction with, for instance, poster presentations during breaks between the four sessions:

  • Measuring the brain’s electrical signals
  • Electrically stimulating the brain
  • Measuring brain signals using light
  • Stimulating the brain using light

Aim

The aim of the symposium is to provide a bridge between fundamental and applied research and to create opportunities for the application of research findings in products that will benefit people’s health and wellbeing. It does so by enabling interaction across research disciplines and methods and by stimulating collaborations between industry and academia.

Posters and demos

For those interested there is an opportunity to present posters and demos. Proposed posters and demos will be reviewed for relevancy regarding the four main topics. Please send your poster abstract via the appropriate form that will be published in due course on our website.

Brain & Emotion Pre-Conference

***Interested in the neuroscience of emotion?***

Join us for the Brain & Emotion Pre-Conference on 8 July 2014!

On 8 July 2014 we organize an exciting 1-day pre-conference to the European Association of Social Psychology General Meeting addressing the question “What can the brain tell us about emotion?” The Brain & Emotion pre-conference will highlight cutting edge research that aims to understand the biological underpinnings of a great variety of emotion processes, such as the subjective experience of emotion, emotion regulation, emotional learning, and the understanding of emotion in other people. Our program features key note addresses by Karin Roelofs and Lawrence Barsalou, and five additional talks by Andreas Olson, Kristen Lindquist, Katerina Fotopoulou, Eliza Bliss-Moreau, and Suzanne Oosterwijk. The meeting will also feature a “Data Blitz” session comprised of 5-minute talks in which researchers of all levels present their “most interesting” and “hot off the press” finding.

More information, including registration details and instructions on how to submit abstracts for the Data Blitz, can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/brainandemotion2014/  Registration is restricted to the first 80 people to register and pay the registration fee (45 euro). Data Blitz submissions are due by 15 May 2014.
