They claim to be the oldest organization to have put a bridge between neurosciences and education: it is the Brain, Neurosciences, and Education Special Group of Interest of the American Educational Research Association.
The Brain, Neurosciences, and Education SIG, formed in 1988 as the Psychophysiology and Education SIG, is the oldest organizational entity specifically dedicated to linking research in the neurosciences and education. It is also the only organizational group in the world which annually hosts a peer-reviewed venue for authors to present papers linking research and theory in the neurosciences and education.
Our group’s purpose is to promote an understanding of neuroscience research within the educational community. We hope to achieve this goal by promoting neuroscience research that has implications for educational practice and by providing a forum for the issues and controversies connecting these two fields.
