MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences UnitThroughout the year the MRC CBU hosts a series of conferences that are aimed at sharing our research, methods, and technical knowledge, to maintain our open approach to science. We hope this information provides a better understanding of our work and improves collaborations with other scientists and institutes around the world. These conferences are usually registration only events with a limited number of places available and sometimes requiring an attendance fee.
Below you can find information on upcoming conferences, past conferences (some with video), and a link to any relevant external conferences.

Upcoming conferences
Methods Day – Monday 2 December 2024.
This year’s Methods Day will feature 18 short talks, primarily from researchers in and around Cambridge, covering recent innovations and applications in brain imaging, brain stimulation, behavioural research, and web-based experiments.
The event is open to the entire Cambridge cognitive neuroscience community, from students to principal investigators.
