Program overview:

Morning talks by early-career and established scientists, followed by afternoon discussion seminars, will invite participants to rethink current laboratory paradigms, explore new models and contexts, and move toward a more comprehensive understanding of behavior and the neural mechanisms that underlie it. Topics cover studying the neural basis of behavior in response to complex and natural stimuli, including stimuli presented as a function of the animal’s own movement; investigating behavior of species beyond standard model organisms, as well as natural populations; examining collective behavior or interactions between species; and conducting research directly in natural environments. We also feature hands‑on sessions where participants will learn basic concepts for building experimental devices designed for naturalistic approaches, as well as analyze behavioral signals from natural environments and experience the challenges they pose.
