Have you ever chatted with a PhD student who emphatically tells you about his thesis subject, who makes a long monologue full of scientific jargon, and at the end of which you still don't know what he is working on exactly?

Venez nous retrouvez pour la 3ème année consécutive pour notre jeu de l'oie scientifique et notre fameux concours de Ma thèse pour les Nuls!

The conference « Cognitive neuroscience of memory: Recollection, familiarity and novelty detection » proposes a state-of-the-art overview by renowned experts in the study of memory. The talks will present recent advances brought by the main methodological approaches: cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and neuroimaging (functional MRI, ERPs, intracranial recording).

Getting a grip on early action understanding: Motor, cognitive, and social factors

The purpose of the Workshop is to highlight new perspectives on the evolution of the primate brain in relation to new insights into behavior and higher cognitive processes.

The European Brain and Behaviour Society was founded in 1968 with the purpose of exchanging information between European scientists interested in the relationship of brain mechanisms and behaviour.
