Educators regularly attend the Encounter of Brain, Body, and Cognition (BBC), particularly those interested in neuroscience, movement, cognition, learning, development, and applied educational practice. In fact, one of the central themes of the conference is neuroeducation and the translation of neuroscience into real-world educational and developmental settings.
BBC offers:
- Exposure to current neuroscience and cognitive science research that can enrich advanced elementary, high school and pre-college neuroscience teaching.
- Integration of sports science, motor behavior, and cognition is particularly relevant for educators interested in exercise, performance, attention, executive function, and brain health.
- Direct interaction with researchers working in developmental neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, aging, learning sciences, neuroimmunology, and embodied cognition.
- Practical translational perspectives that can inform curriculum design, student engagement, and evidence-based approaches to learning and performance.
- Opportunities to connect with an international and interdisciplinary community, including educators, therapists, physicians, neuroscientists, and cognitive scientists.
- A broader conceptual perspective on how movement and bodily systems contribute to cognition, emotional regulation, learning, and adaptive behavior - themes increasingly relevant in both neuroscience and education.
Cambridge University also provides an exceptional intellectual environment for extended discussion and collaboration outside the formal sessions.
We would certainly welcome your participation.
