The Brain Conferences: Bridging Neural Mechanisms and Cognition.

This meeting, taking place in Rungstedgaard, north of Copenhagen, is part of a new series of high-level bi-annual Brain Conferences in Europe. The Brain Conferences are organised by the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS, the major neuroscience association in Europe) in partnership with The Brain Prize. They bring together outstanding researchers in key broadly defined areas of contemporary neuroscience to discuss current concepts and define challenges for future research.

19 Aprile 2015 - 22 Aprile 2015

From behavioural and brain-imaging studies, human cognitive scientists infer that the human brain must contain networks dedicated to the mental representation and manipulation of quantities, distances, probabilities and even more complex structures such as symbols and linguistic trees – yet their neuronal implementation remains uncertain.

Co-chaired by Stanislas Dehaene (Collège de France) and Mihe Shadlen (Columbia University, USA), the aim of this Brain Conference is to examine the possibility of identifying a small set of bridging laws linking neuronal codes to identified cognitive computations.

Application deadline: 22 January/16 February 2015
