This new SIG (2006) has been created to cover this important new and growing area and will:

• - Identify and evaluate research from neuroscience that is of educational interest
• - Promote an understanding of neuroscience research within the educational community
• - Establish a forum in which interdisciplinary issues can be discussed in a critical and cogent manner in a climate of openness and mutual respect
• - Contribute to the building of research capacity in this interdisciplinary area, by encouraging interdisciplinary communication which examines theoretical, practical and strategic issues relevant to resarch linking the neurosciences and education.

The SIG will also parallel the AERA SIG, ‘Brain, Neurosciences and Education’.

Any BERA Member wishing to join the SIG should email the BERA Office, admin@bera.ac.uk with their name, membership number and email address.
