What: We established Reading Emotions as a small, specialist symposium in affective neuroscience with an interdisciplinary outlook in 2012. We tackle a different theme every year, typically inspired by our current research and/or compelling emerging ideas in the field. We host in the region of 100-150 participants, although hundreds more have been joining online in recent years. The intimate set-up encourages deep dives in theory and current experimental work, practical and clinical applications where relevant, and usually includes an explicit ECR/student training component. Past contributors have included BJ Casey, Irene Tracey, Hugo Critchley, Elaine Fox, Karl Friston, Mara Mather, Randy McIntosh, Russ Poldrack, Essi Viding, Tor Wager, as well as clinical practitioners, philosophers, and on occasion artists and architects. You can read about Reading Emotions, including the themes and speakers of previous years, here.
When: The symposium will take place on Thursday 15th and Friday 16th June.
Where: The symposium will take place in person at Whiteknights, our beautiful campus in Reading, and encourage deeper interactions with our students, colleagues, and visitors.
Chair: Dr Anastasia Christakou, Professor of Neuroscience, University of Reading
