AMiD: Attention & Memory in Development

Dear speakers and participants,

The workshop committee and the managing board of the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology has reached the difficult decision to postpone the AMiD Workshop due to the current Corona virus threat in Germany and across the world. In view of the current developments including the daily increase in cases, this extreme measure was necessary to slow the spread of SARS-COV-2 infections and to ensure the wellbeing of workshop attendees. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Should you have any questions or need support please contact Dunja Kunke.

The AMiD Workshop
The AMiD Workshop
The AMiD Workshop aims to discuss new insights into the development of attention and memory during childhood and adolescence from a neurocognitive perspective. We will present you with talks and discussions by internationally renowned experts in the field (please see below).
The workshop reflects a variety of methods suitable for developmental neurocognitive approaches (e.g. EEG, fMRI, NIRS, Pupillometry).
Young researchers are invited to present their latest research on attention and memory development in a data blitz and poster session with ample opportunity to discuss and talk about the work that is currently being done.

The Neurocognitive Development Team
The Workshop is funded by the DFG (WE5026/1-2), CBBS, and the University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal.
