You are warmly invited to attend the Launch Event for the new Research Centre for Clinical, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience (CSCN), City, University of London. The focus of the Centre's work is on cognitive and neural mechanisms that underpin mental health, well-being, psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, and neurological disorders, social and affective interaction, and human cognition.
The event will set out CSCNs aims and give an overview of our research areas, expertise and collaborations in short talks by some of our experts, PhD students and collaboration partners, presenting work across our different research areas.
