BACN Annual Meeting
We're delighted to include the Annual Meeting of the British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience (BACN) at BNA2021, after BACN's original plans for the meeting were disrupted by COVID19.
To attend the BACN meeting you need to register for BNA2021. Because BACN is a Partnering Organisation, all BACN members are entitled to reduced fees: check details of Partner Organisation discounts here.
Delegates attending the BACN sessions can of course access all other aspects of BNA2021 as well: all sessions, discussion forums, networking, exhibition and four months of recorded content online.
The BACN Annual Meeting will take place 14-15 April 2021, in parallel to other Festival sessions. As far as possible, we have timetabled other sessions within the 'Cognition and behaviour' topic to take place 12-13 April, so that delegates interested in cognitive neuroscience will be able to attend these as well as the BACN meeting.
Don't miss BACN's own session within the Festival as well - From Human Connectomics to Cognition​, 09:00 GMT Tuesday 13th April.
