Help advance knowledge of the adaptive mind at the upcoming Brain Conference in Crete, Greece!
Mental health depends on our ability to adapt our brain, mind, and decisions flexibly to the uncertainty of our constantly changing environment, yet we know little about the basic principles of healthy adaptation to uncertainty for stress resilience.
In an effort to bridge this gap, the upcoming Brain Conference on “Principles of the Adaptive Mind” will bring together an interdisciplinary group of experts in evolutionary biology, computational cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, systems neuroscience, genetics/epigenetics and clinical psychiatry to promote synergy between the computational, social, and life sciences and advance knowledge of the adaptive mind.
The meeting will take place from 27-30 October at Fodele Beach, Heraklion, Crete, Greece. It will be chaired by:
- Roshan Cools – Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, The Netherlands
- Catherine Alexandra Hartley – New York University, United States
- Isabelle Mansuy – University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland
The call for early registration is now open. Find out more and claim your early bird rate by 10 July 2025 here!
