Brain and mind researchers of all types: I hope you'll join this conversation at Cognitive Computational Neuroscience (August 6-9, Boston).
There, I'll be zooming out to 40,000 feet to inspire discussion around the question: Why have we been learning so much about the brain and mind for so many decades, but our ability to treat its dysfunction has been so frustrated?
The answer to that question informs what I affectionally call the Grand Plan — a description, in broad strokes, of how brain and mind researchers of all types plan to move from where we are now to societal benefits (including treating brain dysfunction).
I'm envisioning a community-centered conversation unlike any I've seen before; because it's unusual, I unpack it here:

I'm grateful to the CCN organizers for providing an opportunity for this. I hope you'll join in!
