15th World Congress of Psychophysiology - the Olympics of the Brain (IOP 2010)

On behalf of the International Organization of Psychophysiology, the Hungarian community of neuroscientists extend their warm invitation and welcome you to the 15th World Congress of Psychophysiology - the Olympics of the Brain - IOP2010 - to be held in Budapest, Hungary, August 30 September 4, 2010.

The Hungarian Academy of Sciences has a deeply rooted tradition in the advancement of scientific knowledge in general, and in Neuroscientific Psychophysiology in particular. In fact, the exponential ascent of knowledge about the brain body behavior environment interrelationships, officially represented by the International Organization of Psychophysiology, is at the heart of Hungarian scientific endeavors. Eminent Hungarian neuroscientists, since the 1950 s have inspired Psychophysiologists around the world. Among others, we can mention J nos Szent gothai with his discoveries on neuronal interconnections, Endre Grasty n, who established the functional role of hippocampal theta rhythm in motivation and learning, Gy rgy d m, a pioneer of visceroception and Gy rgy Karmos who investigated intracortical evoked potential correlates of learning and perception in animal models. Stemming from the origins mentioned above, and taking Psychophysiology in its broader sense, behavioral neuroscience is widely cultivated at various universities in Hungary at the Medical Schools and Psychology Departments in Budapest, P cs, Szeged and Debrecen.

Among the topics of the congress:

• Brain Models and Theories
• Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
• Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
• Cardiovascular Psychophysiology
