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.
