Dear Singapore Brain Researchers,

Please see the list of the upcoming events below. The newly added talks and updates are in red.

  • Please note that the details (abstract & bio) for three upcoming talks at Duke-NUS have become available (highlighted below).

As usual, if you are aware of any new events, please forward them to me (if urgent), or post them to the SfN website (which I check for this email list). The latter is preferred, as this will also create a public, centralized record of the event.

Feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested in psych/neuro event announcements. To subscribe, press the button below.
