Intentional Inhibition: from motor suppression to self-control

Date: Wednesday 25th September 2013.
An international one-day expert workshop, supported by the European Science Foundation

Organising Committee: Patrick Haggard, Richard Ridderinkhof, Marcel Brass

Speakers: Adam Aron, Roy Baumeister, Marcel Brass, Julie Duque, Arko Ghosh, Patrick Haggard, Alex Münchau, Paul Sauseng

Location: Institute of Neurology, 33 Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG

Recent progress in both psychology and neuroscience confirm that the brain circuits for inhibiting action are just as prominent and important as those for initiating action. 

This will be the first international meeting to focus exclusively on intentional inhibition. A series of short talks is given by eminent researchers across a range of relevant disciplines. There will be a poster session for early career researchers. Some travel bursaries are available. There is a minimal charge to cover refreshments. The workshop is hosted by the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and will take place in Queen Square in the heart of London.
