The Cognitive Neuroscience Unit is hosting an in-house retreat, open to all members and trainees, as well as those interested in cognitive neuroscience research at the Neuro and across McGill. This will be a chance to catch up on the recent discoveries and research advances emerging from the CNU. We will also be looking ahead at new directions and priorities, as well as considering the role of the Unit in strengthening McGill's cognitive neuroscience community more broadly.

The morning session will be an open forum, consisting of research presentations from CNU investigators with Q & A's. The afternoon session, open to CNU investigators, will focus on future research opportunities and challenges as well as identifying goals and strategies for the Unit in the coming years.
