HBP and EBRAINS part of the MESEC Seminar - Agenda

Monday, 6 September 2021

Mediterranean Seminar for Consciousness (MESEC)

The scientific study of consciousness is still quite young. However, even though it begins to reach maturity, the different paradigms that emerged thirty years ago barely ever talk and exchange with each other.

That is why, from 4 to 12 September 2021, the Mediterranean Seminar for Consciousness (MESEC) will take place in Campomoro, Corsica, France.

The Human Brain Project and EBRAINS are delighted to be invited to this exiting event. Renowned Human Brain Project speakers will present new scientific results shedding light to various aspects on Consciousness. This will be followed by the introduction and overview of the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure, contributing to newest results in consciousness research. Participants get chance to apply and test some of the EBRAINS tools and services. This part of the meeting will be available for the online participants (= the agenda on this page).

The agenda of the full event, including the on-site parts, can be found on the event website.

If you want to attend the online part, please register here (free of charge). Note: for the registration an EBRAINS account is needed. To create one (also free of charge), please use https://ebrains.eu/register.
