There’s still time to join us for this advanced course on #interoception in Venice. Individuals from all academic levels are welcome, and beyond interacting with others interested in this topic, there are ample opportunities to learn and explore!
Want to learn more about #interoception and its role in the brain? Come join @DrSFink and me in Venice in May 2025 for the 2nd course on this topic. Beyond the sublime learning, local attractions, and Italian cuisine, we also have fun! neurosas.org/advanced-course…
