This symposium intends to gather people with a variety of backgrounds who are active in the field of Brain Science on topics as diverse as therapy, entertainment, fundamental and applied research and business opportunities. Its goal is to present the latest research in the context of existing or future applications and to discuss options for innovations based on brain science. Invited presentations of distinguished scientists and entrepreneurs will fuel discussion on the applications of Brain Science that are relevant for society at large, and foster the formation of an innovation community. The symposium program will cover the following tentative topics:

Multimodal Imaging in Cognitive Neuroscience: An international workshop
organized by the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging

The workshop aims at exploring how integrated multimodal neuroimaging could provide new ways of understanding brain functions. We will focus on two experimental situations that require integrated multimodal imaging: the quantification of the cerebral consequences of experimentally altered brain activity; and the analysis of dependencies between intrinsic and stimulus-driven cerebral dynamics.

Consciousness. As David Chalmers has put it: “There is nothing we know more intimately, yet, there is nothing harder to explain.� However, in recent years there has been an enormous amount of scientific work on this topic. But, has this brought us any further in unravelling the mystery of Consciousness? Or, what is more, are we even on the right track?

The Dutch national Cognition programme is organizing a symposium around these questions, on Wednesday June 28, 2006. Location is the monumental, 17th century Gertrudis church in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

The symposium is the fourth in a 5-year series of annual thematic symposia that address important issues that are of current interest in various cognitive disciplines. Each symposium has a similar set-up: four internationally renowned speakers from varying cognitive backgrounds, an equally diverse audience of about a hundred researchers, mainly Dutch, and lots of opportunities for formal and informal discussion in a pleasant environment.
