THE NEXT MEETING IS AN OPEN FORUM ON JUNE 2
WHAT NEUROPSYCHOANALYSIS MEANS TO YOU
In advance of the forum, you are invited to share some of your thoughts in a survey, the results of which will be shared at the meeting. Even if you can't attend, we would love to know about your experiences and ideas!
This meeting will be an open forum, in which all can share on these questions and more. If you are a faithful attendee of neuropsychoanalytic meetings, we want to know what's been useful to you over the years. If you are brand-new to this, we want to know what questions you are eager to engage with. This will be an opportunity to connect with colleagues around particular topics of interest, share vignettes about how neuropsychoanalysis has been woven into your clinical practice, research, or thinking, and more.
It seems a good time to take stock of what our community is passionate about, intrigued by, and involved in. How has neuropsychoanalysis affected your practice? How have psychoanalytic concepts catalyzed or enriched your neuroscience research? What topics in the intersection between the mind and brain are "hottest" for you right now?
The dialogue between neuroscience and psychoanalysis continues to expand around the world. Psychoanalytic concepts appear in neuroscience journals with greater frequency (previously almost unheard of!), while neuroscience accelerates its exploration of processes of great relevance to psychoanalysis. Clinical work with neurological patients is expanding. Our overall picture of the mind/brain has been enriched by the neuropsychoanalytic interchange.

ON SELF AND SELF AWARENESS
Given that sensory inputs generate but a fractured representation of universals, the issue of perceptual unity concerns the mechanisms that allow these different sensory components to be gathered into one global image. In recent years, this has been described as ‘binding’, to be implemented by temporal conjunction. Because the number of possible categories of perceptions is so extensive, their implementation via purely hierarchical connectivity, where a single grandmother neuron or a small group of such neurons represent specific elements of a category, is very unlikely.
