Science of Mind-Body Interactions: An Exploration of Integrative Mechanisms

Educational Objectives:

to identify the major thrusts of mind body research;
to review advances revealing the affect of psychological and social worlds on physical health;
to delineate promising areas for further research.

Target Audience: Both researchers and students in all disciplines involved in mind-body research.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How does the social world get literally "under our skin"?

What are the mechanisms linking emotions and health?

How does the brain mediate between events in our environment and changes in our autonomic, endocrine, and neurological functioning? We invite you to take part in a spirited scientific conversation on these and other cutting-edge questions in mind-body science.

Join leading researchers from the behavioral and social sciences, biomedicine, cognitive science, and more as we explore the latest advances and emerging questions about mind-body connections…discuss groundbreaking interdisciplinary research…and sound out opportunities to put new discoveries to practical use.

In addition to prominent speakers and panels, we’ll devote significant time in every session to audience questions and discussion. This is a participatory forum where students, practitioners, and senior investigators come together to probe the limits of our knowledge and offer strategies for the future.
