| What is the Aspen Brain Forum? |
| |
 A high level think tank in the retreat setting of Aspen to convene science and industry leaders on Brain and Health, Brain and Learning.
Jointly sponsored by New York Academy of Sciences and the Aspen Brain Forum Foundation.
Grant support by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke and the National Science Foundation.
The Second Annual Aspen Brain Forum of top international Brain Researchers is September 22-24, 2011, on The Cognitive Neuroscience of Learning: Implications for Education.
|
| Mission |
| |
The mission of the Aspen Brain Forum is to organize, fund, produce, and host an annual high level meeting of International Brain Researchers held in Aspen, Colorado leading to breakthroughs in Brain Science.
|
| Goal |
| |
To present and disseminate the most cutting-edge innovations in Brain Science to an elite, intimate, and interactive meeting of up to 150 scientists.
To advance cross-disciplinary and multi-institutional collaboration.
|
| Program |
| |
The Aspen Brain Forums will gather neurobiologists, cognitive neuroscientists, computer scientists, and engineers to share their breakthrough research for global collaboration in Brain Science.
|
| Reach |
| |
An E-summary of each Forum, written by a prominent science journalist, will reach a worldwide audience through the worldwide websites of the New York Academy of Sciences, the Royal Institution of Great Britain, and the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives.
|
| Impact |
| |
The annual Aspen Brain Forum will have profound societal impact. As Paul Allen, founder of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, says, “A new generation of implantable pacemakers for the brain will be widely used to treat everything from depression, addiction, and Alzheimer's to cognitive enhancement.” Futurist Alvin Toffler notes, “by 2050, a major jump forward in the capabilities of the human brain and nervous system (coming from the Neuroscience labs) will redefine how we as a species imagine, work, think, and heal”. |
