The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

Analysis of behavior and cognition in humans
Analysis of behavior and cognition in non-human animal
Computation, modeling, and simulation
Data analysis and statistics
Electrophysiology (channels)
Electrophysiology (unit activity)
Imaging (PET, fMRI, etc)
I joined ALBA because :
I recently heard about Alba through participating in my first FENS conference last month (The 2023 Brainc Conference on Structuring knowledge for flexible behavior) and I learned about a range of resources Alba provides to its members as well as the brain science community in general. The missions of Alba also resonate well with my core values as a person and as a scientist.

I joined ALBA because :
I got acquainted with Alba network in FENS2022. I fully agree with what the network stands for, and I believe through such networks one can at least address and discuss the most common obstacles in careers of many neuroscientists. For women and researchers coming from third world countries it's ten times worse.
