Guest Editorial. Interdisciplinary Approaches for Human Cognition: Expanding Perspectives on the Mind

Abstract

The quest to decipher the intricate workings of the human brain continues to captivate scientists and researchers worldwide. In this endeavor, the Latin American Workshop on Computational Neuroscience (LAWCN) plays a pivotal role by fostering a vibrant community committed to understanding the intersection of neuroscience, computational approaches, and cutting-edge technological innovations. LAWCN was born in 2012 at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) where it later formally became a biannual event in 2017. Since its beginning, its objective has been to support collaborative learning and knowledge sharing through events hosted in unique Brazilian cities such as Porto Alegre (2017), São João del-Rei (2019), and São Luís de Maranhão (2021).
