The 32nd annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS 2025) kicked off in Boston with 1,500 participants! Today’s sessions included the Data Blitz sessions, a workshop on science communications, Poster Session A, and the keynote lecture by Adriana Galván (UCLA) about embracing teens as strategic risk-takers. We closed out the day with our Welcome Reception. Check out some highlights in photos and posts below.
Welcome to #CNS2025! The registration desks are open so come pick up your badge and join us for today’s sessions!

Brain synchrony in real world events, EEG measurements of awe, and understanding the role of motor disturbances in psychosis
Great Data Blitz presentations so far! #CNS2025— Cognitive Neuroscience Society (@cogneuronews.bsky.social) March 29, 2025 at 11:12 AM
“We’ve seen that previously relevant information can be retrieved after distraction. Also, negative ruminative thoughts increased in ratings 24 hours after a distraction task compared with before.”

#CNS2025 | Happening now
Fantastic talk given by Arun Asthagiri from @psycheloui.bsky.social lab @DataBlitzSession2, exploring whether multimodal （here in this context audiovisual） entrainment can be used to lift mild cognitive impairment as suggested by previous animal studies!— Kun Dong (@kundong.bsky.social) March 29, 2025 at 11:35 AM
What a great start to #CNS2025!
@manqisha.bsky.social kicked of the first session with her Data Blitz on ‘Coupled sleep rhythms in the human hippocampus support memory consolidation’

#scicomm is more important than ever, as science is under attack @charan-neuro.bsky.social
Excited for this workshop on #scicomm at #CNS2025— Cognitive Neuroscience Society (@cogneuronews.bsky.social) March 29, 2025 at 12:10 PM
Love seeing the full house in the #scicomm session…lots of great discussion happening already about what goals cognitive neuroscientists have in sharing their research

Effective storytelling in #scicomm requires some connection with the human side, to provide a vehicle to the science
You have to make yourself vulnerable … To enable an audience to connect, whether scientists, courtroom or public

Michael Anderson welcomes #CNS2025 participants, calling out the many fascinating sessions we have lined up to explore the latest in cognitive neuroscience.
Let’s fill in the room for the keynote!— Cognitive Neuroscience Society (@cogneuronews.bsky.social) March 29, 2025 at 5:03 PM
Adriana Galván asks the #CNS2025 audience to imagine a group of people who laugh easily, can learn faster than anyone in this room, and embrace the uncertainty of life…this magical group of people lives among us and they are teenagers
What a great start! 1/— Cognitive Neuroscience Society (@cogneuronews.bsky.social) March 29, 2025 at 5:14 PM
Risk-taking can take many forms during adolescence and it’s often positive exploration and is very adaptive for the person and situation -Galván 6/
