Budapest was supposed to host ESCAN2020, which later became ESCAN2021. The current situation requires us to adapt further: while vaccination has started, planning a travel may still not possible and socializing may not be safe for all of us.
To allow equal access and stress-free participation for everybody we are happy to announce that ESCAN2021 goes virtual. Having seen the symposia proposals and the poster/free presentation abstracts flowing in we are very excited about the excellent content we'll have.
We invite you from all around the world to join this unique event. Let's make the best out of the opportunities this year offers – see you at ESCAN2021!
Don't forget to subscribe to our mailing list so that we can keep you posted!

"The empathy feedback loop"
Simone Shamay-Tsoory is a professor at Haifa University, and lab director of Social and Affective Neuroscience Lab. Her main research interest is the understanding the neural mechanisms underlying social cognition and emotional experiences.
Philippe Schyns is a professor at University of Glasgow. His main research interest is the information processing mechanisms of face, object and scene categorization in the brain.
Catherine Tallon-Baudry seeks to understand how brain activity turns into conscious experience. She currently investigates the role of both gastric-brain and heart-brain coupling in very different aspects of subjectivity.

All authors of accepted oral presentations / posters are required to create a pre-recorded video / PDF of their accepted oral presentation / poster.
Both videos and posters will be available on the virtual event platform in a poster gallery from the opening of the platform in June until the end of August.
| GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING AN E-POSTER | GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING A VIDEO |
|---|---|
|
The e-poster must be a one page PDF file. Please do not upload Powerpoint or other files.
Some tips on how to create a better research poster in less time, can be found here. Please be sure the e-poster includes the title of the paper, the authors, and a reference to ESCAN2021. |
There are multiple ways to create an excellent quality recording. I. Any conferencing tool can record your lecture:
II. You can use Power Point as well for this purpose:
Tip: it results a better visual experince for the participants if they can see the presenter on the recording. If you record a webcam picture, make sure you position your camera correctly and you take care of appropriate lighting.
