2. To serve as a meeting place and training environment for students and professionals interested in basic and applied neuroscience research.
3. To serve as a forum for collaborative relationships, funding applications, and the sharing of best practices.
4. To advocate for and promote high standards in the application of behavior analytic treatments for individuals with neurological dysfunction. |
