Connectionists: Naturalistic Neuroscience 2026 @ University of Bonn (28-29 May 2026)

[Dominik Bach]

Dear Colleagues

registration and abstract submission are now open for */Naturalistic 
Neuroscience – from perception to action and back/* (University of Bonn 
28-29 May 2026). Please check https://www.nn2026.uni-bonn.de 
<https://www.nn2026.uni-bonn.de/> for details.

In the real world, sensory information shapes our decision and actions, 
but the reverse is equally true: our actions determine which information 
we obtain next. From the perspective of the brain, this closed-loop 
planning problem is radically more complex than the open-loop setting 
common in cognitive and systems neuroscience, where a brain is 
stimulated and its response recorded in short trials. Naturalistic 
neuroscience seeks to understand this perspective with experimental 
paradigms that seek to strike a balance between full experimental 
control and full realism. This two-day symposium spotlights substantive 
research, novel neurotechnology, and theoretical underpinnings in this 
field. In addition to a series of distinguished keynote talks, 
participants will have the opportunity to present their work through 
oral or poster presentations, and to visit local naturalistic 
neuroscience and virtual reality facilities.
