Body-Brain Waves

A special focus on the Gut & the Brain

Waves is a series of scientific events dedicating particular attention to physiological and modulatory interactions between the Body and the Brain.

We critically evaluate if and how neural excitability, information processing, and overt behavior can be influenced by the body and its peripheral physiological activity: breathing, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal activity, oculomotor dynamics and circadian rhythms complement the assessment of Brain Waves, informing and advancing our understanding of how we perceive, act, and evaluate the dynamically changing environment we live in.

In 2025, the Waves Symposium will focus on the Guts & the Brain, featuring talks and workshops on (but not limited to):

• the impact of nutrition on the brain, cognition and wellbeing;
• the enteric nervous system;
• the gut-brain axis;
• the gut microbiome.
