This is a 2-day event consisting of two main elements. On May 25, participants can attend a workshop supported by Artinis Medical Systems to learn the latest theory and methods in relation to functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning. On May 26, participants can then attend a conference with three keynotes delivered by international experts on synchrony and two slots for early career researcher oral and poster presentations. While the Workshop is in-person only, the conference can be attended in person or remotely (with asynchronous access to talks and posters). Conference participation is also possible without presentation / as a listener only. Participation / abstract submission deadline is March 15, 2023.
