Society of Applied Neuroscience

Welcome

The Society of Applied Neuroscience (SAN) is a nonprofit membership organisation devoted to advancing neuroscientific knowledge and its innovative applications by empowering both scientists and practitioners in serving the public by optimising self-regulatory brain function.
Its membership is open to scientists and practitioners interested in an integrated approach with involves the neural, cognitive and behavioural levels of analysis.
SAN originated as a chapter of the International Society for Neuronal Regulation, an U.S. based organization, grew in numbers and turned into the Society of Applied Neuroscience through a membership referendum which also enlarged its scope. SAN is based in Europe and open to international membership.
SAN is registered in the Norwegian Register Brønnøysundregistrene as Organization Number 984-637-94.

Aims

Advancing integrative neuroscience, including novel applications such as neurofeedback (EEG, fMRI, NIRS), autonomic nervous system biofeedback, neuro-rehabilitation, brain-computer interface (BCI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), virtual reality feedback, vagus nerve stimulation, electro-cranial stimulaton, audio-visual stimulation, etc.
Fostering education in applied neuroscientific techniques
Enhancing integrative practice in clinical treatment, education and optimal performance
Promoting evidence-based practice to optimise functions in both health and disease
Increasing public knowledge of neuroscientific applications

Functions

Organising an annual conference
Providing university accredited training courses on clinical, educational and optimal performance training
Developing European standards of practice
Supporting scientific research in applied neuroscience
Seeking affiliation and membership concessions with like-minded societies
Facilitating communication among scientists and practitioners
Publishing an international scientific journal.
