The Events

Main Conference
25-26 November 2024 (9:00-18:00)

The Main Conference is free to attend but you must pre-register using the link below as spaces are limited.

This two-day conference will focus on the collective dynamics of neurons and how cognition, or even the mind and consciousness may emerge. It will feature an extensive line-up of Invited Speakers and Contributed Speakers, and will explore how to reconcile the findings of different experimental and analysis approaches and thereby explore cognition as the macroscopic result of multiple dynamical relations operating at a range of scales in space and time.
