Updates & Announcements About Coronavirus
Recent developments regarding coronavirus and COVID-19 are of national and international concern to us all. Conference organizers will monitor both the CDC and the World Health Organization for updates and best practices. In addition, local organizers are relying on the Texas Department of State Health Services for information pertaining to the situation in Texas.
We will continue monitoring the range and severity of the pandemic as it develops in the US and throughout the world. We also don’t want to make any decisions about the conference based on the concern or even fear of what might happen over the next several months leading up to the Resting State Brain Connectivity Conference. We continue to hope that the virus’s outbreak will be effectively contained and have a minimal future impact on lives and health and that the conference can continue as planned.
The workshop, conference and symposium are moving forward as scheduled and programmed. Conference organizers will adjust programming as necessary. To the extent that individuals with flight, room reservations and other plans are affected, we will work with them to minimize the impact.
Check back for additional updates.
The Biennial Conference on Resting State Brain Connectivity is the major forum for scientific discourse and interaction on human brain connectivity. The format offers attendees, particularly young academics, great opportunities to present and discuss their own work, and to keep up to date with latest developments.
This year’s program will highlight many exciting new directions this field is taking as well as updates on more established lines of work. We have an exciting lineup of keynote speakers:
