OUR BACKGROUND
The roots of мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ö±²¥ date back to December 1973 when 60 scientists met at Imperial College London to hold the inaugural meeting of what was then called the British Psychophysiology Society (BPPS). The group formed to establish a forum for workers in the field of psychophysiology, establish shared standards for data acquisition, promote the teaching and training of psychophysiology techniques at Universities and beyond and liaise with other societies in the area of psychological research. In 2005, the BPPS changed its name to the British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience to reflect the changing nature of the discipline. However, the society remains committed to its original aims until this day.
In 2020 we updated our logo to the one shown here.
