The Society of Applied Neuroscience (SAN) is a nonprofit membership organization devoted to advancing neuroscientific knowledge and its innovative applications by empowering both scientists and practitioners in serving the public by optimising self-regulatory brain function.

Its membership is open to scientists and practitioners interested in an integrated approach with involves the neural, cognitive and behavioural levels of analysis.

SAN originated as a chapter of the International Society for Neuronal Regulation, an U.S. based organization, grew in numbers and turned into the Society of Applied Neuroscience through a membership referendum which also enlarged its scope. SAN is based in Europe and open to international membership.

SAN is registered in the Norwegian Register Brønnøysundregistrene as Organization Number 984-637-94.

 

SAN Aims

• Advancing integrative neuroscience, including novel applications such as neurofeedback (EEG, fMRI, NIRS), autonomic nervous system biofeedback, neuro-rehabilitation, brain-computer interface (BCI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), virtual reality feedback, vagus nerve stimulation, electro-cranial stimulaton, audio-visual stimulation, etc.
• Fostering education in applied neuroscientific techniques
• Enhancing integrative practice in clinical treatment, education and optimal performance
• Promoting evidence-based practice to optimise functions in both health and disease
• Increasing public knowledge of neuroscientific applications

SAN Functions

• Organising an annual conference
• Providing university accredited training courses on clinical, educational and optimal performance training
• Developing European standards of practice
• Supporting scientific research in applied neuroscience
• Seeking affiliation and membership concessions with like-minded societies
• Facilitating communication among scientists and practitioners
• Publishing an international scientific journal.

Newsletter 2009

 

April 2009 heralded the joint SAN/COST B27 training school on Neurofeedback and ADHD together with  MIND AND BRAIN VI: Neuroplasticity of Brain and Behaviour.  And what better venue for such a jewel of an event than Dubrovnik, known as ‘the pearl of the Adriatic’. This event took place just short of 30 years after  the city of Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites (in 1979).

 

If you weren’t able to make it, you can get an idea of what you missed at http://www.brain.hr/Mind&Brain6/DEFAULT_MAIN.htm (abstracts and schedule) However, if you were fortunate enough to be there, you can view all the power point presentations at www.brain.hr  (sorry, but this is password protected material for conference delegates only)

 

Members of the society wish to thank the local organizer, Selma Supek from the University of Zagreb and SAN president, John Gruzelier, from the University of London, who, together with their fellow program directors Silvana Markovska-Simoska from the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts and Cheryl Aine from the University of New Mexico put together a very varied and thought-provoking program. We already look forward to the next meeting with its exciting interface between scientists and clinicians.
