  • Which pro­fes­sional groups are ide­ally posi­tioned to become “brain fit­ness coaches”?
  • How can neu­ro­science inform spe­cial education?
  • How can Big Data and global inter­net access trans­form brain health practices?

–> You can ORDER A $15 PASS NOW (reg­u­lar price is $295). Pass hold­ers receive two-month log-in access to the online pre­sen­ta­tions, begin­ning on March 11th.
