Thinking Outside the Brain - Innovations in Integrative Neuroscience

Date: Thursday, November 17, 2016
Time: 9:30 a.m. - noon
Location: de Grandpre Communications Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute, 3801 University Street, H2A 2B4

We are entering a new era in our understanding of both healthy and pathological brain function, which underpins all human behaviour. It is only through interdisciplinary convergence, pooling the expertise of individuals with extraordinarily varied backgrounds of study and experience, that we can continue to advance our understanding of the ultimate puzzle that is the mind.  In this event, we will present ways in which “thinking outside the brain” has proven beneficial to brain research within our centre, along with small-group workshops to foster collaborative learning and encourage synergies.

Please join us in this active workshop to explore how different perspectives and diverse expertise contribute to a greater understanding of complex problems in neuroscience. Coffee and light breakfast will be served.

Convened by: 
Penelope Kostopoulos, Research Associate, McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
