The third day of CNS 2024 in Toronto co included 4 symposia — on topics ranging from the neurocognitive underpinnings of meditation and mindfulness to the scientific study of subjectivity — 2 poster sessions, a DEI workshop, the Young Investigator Award lectures by Peter Kok and Ella Striem-Amit, and the Fred Kavli Distinguished Career Contributions Award lecture by Kia Nobre. Check out some highlights in photos and tweets:
Poster Sessions D & E and Exhibit Hall:
Good morning #CNS2024. Day 3! Hope you’ll join us in Poster Session D and/or the Communications Open House this morning. It’s going to be a beautiful day to science here in Toronto! https://t.co/cIMGz32WNZ

Symposia and DEI Workshop:
We’re here learning about the role of attention in mindfulness and meditation, chaired by Erika Nyhus, who is giving a terrific overview to situate the context of this research #CNS2024 https://t.co/sYDbmfXQvf pic.twitter.com/R2hSHAIgnb

Mindfulness and meditation: inward attention as a tool for mental health
Learn about the neuroscience behind mindfulness practices, based on research being presented at #CNS2024: https://t.co/S31LooRWi8#neuroscience @EurekAlert pic.twitter.com/tnEwc21sEm— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) April 15, 2024
Learning about retrograde amnesia from @briantlevine’s talk at #CNS2024. Studying the extreme tail of the distribution can lend insights into the whole distribution of autobiographical memory.

Retrograde amnesia is associated with lower PTSD symptoms. If you can’t re-experience your traumatic memories, you are somewhat protected from the distress that comes with trauma. Interesting fact from @briantlevine’s talk at #CNS2024 – I wonder if amnesia may be adaptive?

Studying people born blind, deaf, or without hands gives researchers a unique window into understanding individual differences in brain plasticity #CNS2024 @StriemAmit pic.twitter.com/7CQLZAgdgC

Fred Kavli Distinguished Career Contributions Award lecture by Kia Nobre:
.@KiaNobre will be presenting her work on focus – how the brain anticipates, prioritizes, and selects information from the sensory stream and from memories at various time scales to guide behavior. Read about it in our #CNS2024 Q&A:https://t.co/hvNdXkATaz

,@kianobre ends her talk noting that it’s still early days for cognitive neuroscience, full of wonder…
Wonderful indeed!#CNS2024 pic.twitter.com/StsNmHPy8X— CNS News (@CogNeuroNews) April 15, 2024
