Interested in Neuroscience and Behavioral Analysis?
Neuroscience Special Interest Group
Mission and Objectives:
The Neuroscience Special Interest Group brings together researchers, academics, clinicians, and students interested in the intersection of behavior analysis and neuroscience as it relates to basic research, clinical interventions, or general neurological dysfunction. The Neuroscience SIG has four primary missions:
To introduce behavior analytic research to the neurosciences and introduce neuroscience research to behavior analysis.
To serve as both a meeting place and training environment for students and professionals alike interested in basic and applied neuroscience research.
To serve as a forum for collaborative relationships, funding applications, and the sharing of best practices.
To advocate for and promote high standards in the application of behavior analytic treatments for individuals with neurological dysfunction.
Specifically of Interest to Behavior Analysts:
Within behavior analysis, there has been rapid growth in basic neuroscience research and clinical research devoted to understanding the interplay between behavioral treatments and neural dysfunction. Accordingly, the Neuroscience SIG provides a forum for building collaborations, freely exchanging ideas related to basic and applied neuroscience issues, and providing resources to address practical issues related to conducting research.
