We are excited to announce our in-person workshop taking place at the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. This ESRC funded workshop will bring together researchers from both computational and mental health fields and aims to generate discussion surrounding metacognition, agency, decision-making and learning within mental health.

Registration Details

All of our speakers will be presenting in person, with the exception of our keynote speaker, Yael Niv who will give a virtual talk. Attendees are encouraged to come in person to the event, however in-person places will be limited and therefore will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. For people who cannot attend in person, the conference will also be streamed virtually.
