Microsoft Word - 11. 15th World Congress of Psychophysiology.doc


 

 

Dear Colleagues and Friends, 

 

On behalf of the International Organization of Psychophysiology, the Hungarian 

community of neuroscientists extend their warm invitation and welcome you to the 

15th World Congress of Psychophysiology - the Olympics of the Brain - IOP2010 - to 

be held in Budapest, Hungary, August 30 – September 4, 2010.   

 

The Hungarian Academy of Sciences has a deeply rooted tradition in the 

advancement of scientific knowledge in general, and in Neuroscientific 

Psychophysiology in particular.  In fact, the exponential ascent of knowledge about 

the brain – body – behavior – environment interrelationships, officially represented by 

the International Organization of Psychophysiology, is at the heart of Hungarian 

scientific endeavors.  Eminent Hungarian neuroscientists, since the 1950’s have 

inspired Psychophysiologists around the world. Among others, we can mention János 

Szentágothai with his discoveries on neuronal interconnections, Endre Grastyán, who 

established the functional role of hippocampal theta rhythm in motivation and 

learning, György Ádám, a pioneer of visceroception and György Karmos who 

investigated intracortical evoked potential correlates of learning and perception in 

animal models. Stemming from the origins mentioned above, and taking 

Psychophysiology in its broader sense, behavioral neuroscience is widely cultivated 

at various universities in Hungary at the Medical Schools and Psychology 

Departments in Budapest, Pécs, Szeged and Debrecen.     

 

Following the high standards set by the International Organization of 

Psychophysiology, the Program of this 15th World Congress of Psychophysiology will 

be composed of Invited Keynote Presentations, Symposia and Poster Sessions on the 

most advanced findings on all aspects, branches and areas of Psychophysiology as 

a leading Neuroscience (see Main Topics of the World Congress).  All accepted 

abstracts will be published in the International Journal of Psychophysiology which will 

be distributed to all registered Delegates at the World Congress site in Budapest.
