Our brain constantly interacts with the natural world. Recent technological and conceptual advances enabled a new direction in neuroscience: studying the brain during evermore naturalistic behaviors. This conference will bring together a broad interdisciplinary group of researchers who pioneered these cutting-edge approaches for studying the neural basis of behavior – including navigation, collective decision-making, communication, and social behaviors, in a variety of organisms – rodents, bats, insects, worms, birds, fish, reptiles, monkeys and humans. Our goal is to learn from each other, and inspire new ideas across groups, disciplines, and techniques in this growing field – the neuroscience of natural behaviors.
In addition to invited talks, the conference will feature poster sessions and short contributed talks
