Learning rarely happens in isolation: it unfolds through exchanges between learners, teachers, peers, technologies, and environments. By studying shared neural, cognitive, physiological, behavioural, and social signals, BrainConnects 2026 aims to ask how people align attention, coordinate understanding, communicate meaning, and build knowledge together.</p> <p>The timing is especially meaningful, as BrainConnects 2026 will also celebrate SoLEC's 5th Anniversary. This milestone broadens our research into how learners, educators, technologies, and environments become connected through shared neural, cognitive, physiological, and social signals, and how these insights can advance the science of learning.</p> <div style="margin-top: 1.45rem; padding-top: 1.35rem; border-top: 1px solid rgba(15, 108, 109, 0.18);"> <h3 style="margin: 0 0 0.9rem; color: #123d4a;">Keynote Speakers</h3> <div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(220px, 1fr)); gap: 1.1rem;"> <div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.4rem 0.65rem;"> <img src="https://clinicalbrainlab.github.io/media/brainconnects/benjamin-becker.jpg" alt="Professor Benjamin Becker" style="width: 176px; height: 176px; object-fit: cover; object-position: center 24%; border-radius: 50%; border: 3px solid #ffffff; box-shadow: 0 8px 22px rgba(18, 61, 74, 0.16);"> <div style="margin-top: 0.65rem;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 0.2rem; font-size: 0.92rem; line-height: 1.22;"><strong>Professor Benjamin Becker</strong></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 0.12rem; color: #4d6670; font-size: 0.76rem; line-height: 1.24;">Department of Psychology</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 0.12rem; color: #4d6670; font-size: 0.76rem; line-height: 1.24;">Director, MIND &amp; AI Lab</p> <p style="margin: 0; color: #4d6670; font-size: 0.76rem; line-height: 1.24;">The University of Hong Kong</p> </div> </div> <div style="text-align: center; padding: 0.4rem 0.65rem;"> <img src="https://clinicalbrainlab.github.io/media/brainconnects/twila-tardif.jpg" alt="Professor Twila Tardif" style="width: 176px; height: 176px; object-fit: cover; object-position: center; border-radius: 50%; border: 3px solid #ffffff; box-shadow: 0 8px 22px rgba(18, 61, 74, 0.16);"> <div style="margin-top: 0.65rem;"> <p style="margin: 0 0 0.2rem; font-size: 0.92rem; line-height: 1.22;"><strong>Professor Twila Tardif</strong></p> <p style="margin: 0 0 0.12rem; color: #4d6670; font-size: 0.76rem; line-height: 1.24;">Department of Paediatrics</p> <p style="margin: 0 0 0.12rem; color: #4d6670; font-size: 0.76rem; line-height: 1.24;">NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine</p> <p style="margin: 0; color: #4d6670; font-size: 0.76rem; line-height: 1.24;">Senior Principal Scientist III, Translational Neurosciences, A*STAR Institute for Human Development and Potential</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div style="margin-top: 1.45rem; padding-top: 1.25rem; border-top: 1px solid rgba(15, 108, 109, 0.18);"> <h3 style="margin: 0 0 0.85rem; color: #123d4a;">Hosts and Workshop Partners</h3> <div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: nowrap; gap: 0.65rem; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; overflow-x: auto;"> <div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; flex: 0 0 150px; width: 150px; height: 82px; padding: 0.2rem 0.25rem; border-radius: 8px; background: #ffffff;"> <img src="https://clinicalbrainlab.github.io/media/brainconnects/ntu-logo.png" alt="Nanyang Technological University Singapore logo" style="max-width: 132px; max-height: 78px; width: auto; height: auto;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; flex: 0 0 150px; width: 150px; height: 82px; padding: 0.2rem 0.25rem; border-radius: 8px; background: #ffffff;"> <img src="https://clinicalbrainlab.github.io/media/brainconnects/nie-logo.png" alt="National Institute of Education Singapore logo" style="max-width: 138px; max-height: 78px; width: auto; height: auto;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; flex: 0 0 150px; width: 150px; height: 82px; padding: 0.45rem 0.55rem; border-radius: 8px; background: #123d4a;"> <img src="https://clinicalbrainlab.github.io/media/brainconnects/nirx-logo.png" alt="NIRx logo" style="max-width: 104px; max-height: 52px; width: auto; height: auto;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; flex: 0 0 150px; width: 150px; height: 82px; padding: 0.45rem 0.55rem; border-radius: 8px; background: #ffffff;"> <img src="https://clinicalbrainlab.github.io/media/brainconnects/artinis-logo.png" alt="Artinis logo" style="max-width: 104px; max-height: 52px; width: auto; height: auto;"> </div> </div> </div> <p style="margin-top: 2cm;"><strong>Abstract submission deadline: 10 September 2026.</strong></p> <p style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 0.75rem; align-items: center; margin: 0.9rem 0 0;"><a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://clinicalbrainlab.github.io/events/brainconnects-2026/abstract-submission/" style="display: inline-flex; align-items: center; min-height: 44px; padding: 0.72rem 1.15rem; color: #ffffff !important; line-height: 1.2; text-decoration: none;">Submit Abstract</a><span class="btn btn-outline-primary" style="display: inline-flex; align-items: center; min-height: 44px; padding: 0.72rem 1.15rem; color: #0f6c6d; line-height: 1.2; opacity: 0.78; cursor: not-allowed;">Registration Coming Soon</span></p> </div> </div> </section>
