A single day devoted to the most complex phenomena of the human mind — where neuroscience, clinical practice and the study of dreams meet.
Neurology · psychiatry · neurophysiology · sleep medicine
Consciousness, dreams and behaviour are among the most complex and intriguing phenomena in contemporary neuroscience.
Understanding them requires bringing together knowledge from neurology, psychiatry, neurophysiology, sleep medicine, psychology and other related disciplines.
The “Consciousness, Dreams, Behaviour” symposium is conceived as a multidisciplinary scientific forum devoted to current knowledge of the neurobiological basis of consciousness, the physiology and pathology of sleep, and the mechanisms that shape human behaviour.
Through lectures by leading experts and discussion of current scientific and clinical topics, the symposium aims to exchange knowledge, connect disciplines and advance understanding of these complex processes in modern medicine.
Welcome to a symposium connecting neuroscience, clinical practice and the future of research.
The programme hour by hour, lectures and satellite symposia. PDF available to download.
Programme →Leading experts — biographies, institutions and lecture topics.
Speakers →Confirmed speakers, accreditation, educational articles and podcasts throughout the year.
News →How the brain creates consciousness, shapes dreams and drives behaviour — seen from several scientific angles.
The neural correlates of conscious experience and current models of how consciousness arises in the brain.
Sleep stages, REM and the role of sleep in memory consolidation and brain recovery.
Brain waves, EEG and the electrophysiological patterns that accompany different states of consciousness.
Diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in modern clinical practice.
How dreams take part in emotional processing and mental health.
The cognitive mechanisms that shape human behaviour and decision-making.
The symposium brings together experts from several fields in one place — a chance to hear the latest findings and exchange experience from everyday practice.
The symposium takes place on 17 September 2026 at SASA, Belgrade. Places are limited.
