One Meeting, Two Experiences: Reconnect at Neuroscience 2021

Watch on-demand the How to Make and Present A Poster for Neuroscience 2023 webinar from September 18, 2023.

SfN’s Response to Recent Federal Administration Actions

Thank you for attending #SfN23

Neuroscience 2025 Late-breaking abstract submission is now open!

Advocating for public support of neuroscience research is a key pillar of SfN’s mission.

Neuroscience 2021 will be accessible from around the world.

Successful mentoring relationships require building a strong foundation based on mutual trust, respect, and open communication.

When compared to nature sounds, exposure to mechanical sounds evokes higher levels of perceptual and physiological arousal, prompting the recruitment of attentional and physiological resources to elicit adaptive responses. However, it is unclear whether these attributes are solely related to the sound intensity of mechanical sounds, since in most real-world scenarios, mechanical sounds are present at high intensities, or if other acoustic or semantic factors are also at play. We measured the Skin Conductance Response (SCR), reflecting sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity as well as the pleasantness and eventfulness of the soundscape across two passive and active listening tasks in (N = 25; 14 females, 11 males) healthy subjects. The auditory stimuli were divided into two categories, nature, and mechanical sounds, and were manipulated to vary in three perceived loudness levels. As expected, we found that the sound category influenced perceived soundscape pleasantness and eventfulness. SCR was analysed ...

The Society for Neuroscience will hold Neuroscience 2021 as a fully virtual experience, eliminating all in-person options that had been planned for McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. Neuroscience 2021 will take place online November 8-11, 2021, with Preview Days taking place November 3-7, which allows attendees to preview posters as well as full symposia and minisymposia talks prior to the official meeting dates.
