What is Applied Neuroscience and how can it help you and me?
Neuroscience is constantly producing remarkable advancements in our understanding of the brain and nervous systems cellular and molecular structure, function and processes that dictate our every thought, our thinking about thinking, action and behaviours.
In recent years there has been growing interest in findings from neuroscience research, beyond the domain of the natural sciences. Translating and applying the research into a societal context for lasting improvements in human health, the economy, and society as a whole.
The role of language and critique in such Science Communication, bridging discoveries with demand, relies on an evidence-base that is translated ethically and free from dominant interests and ideologies. ANA's vision is empowering ethically applied neuroscience for global impact.
