Information and Benefits

Since its founding in 1994, the Society has been dedicated to bringing its 2000 worldwide members the latest research and dialogues in order to facilitate public, professional and scientific discourse.

Our membership is made up of students, post docs, and faculty from around the world. Our members, who are engaged in research focused on elucidating the biological underpinnings of mental processes, form a network of scientists and scholars working at the interface of mind, brain and behavior research. The findings of this research are presented at our member-supported annual scientific conference. The three-day program of plenary speakers, symposia, posters and special events covers all aspects of cognitive neuroscience research.
