CNS 2018 Day 1 In Brief

March 25, 2018

The 25th meeting of CNS is in full swing in Boston! Yesterday, participants debated with an expert panel on whether the greatest need in the field is “big theory” or “big data”, heard Michael Gazzaniga, the godfather of cognitive neuroscience take us on a tour of views of consciousness over the ages, and saw posters with the latest cognitive neuroscience research. Check out our full photo album of the day here on Facebook and check out our Twitter coverage here.

Michael Gazzaniga delivers the CNS 2018 keynote lecture on “The Consciousness Instinct“.
