ESCAN 2026!
Exciting news from the Touchnet team! In June, a few of our researchers are packing their bags for Rome, Italy, to attend the upcoming biennial meeting of the European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (ESCAN).
As one of the leading events in Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, this conference is a fantastic opportunity to dive into the latest scientific advancements and methodologies. Edgardo, Mathilde and Yvonne will be representing our team, connecting with international experts, and bringing back fresh insights to fuel our ongoing research.
