Movement & Cognition — Movement: Brain, Body, Cognition

We now know that physical activity dramatically enhances brain plasticity and cognitive performance.

Throughout one’s lifespan, physical activity and exercise may help to maintain and even improve brain and cognitive performance.

The conference is a cross-disciplinary professional gathering that brings together academic theorists, researchers, and practitioners who treat their patients with body techniques. Participants have the option of attending the conference or delivering a hands-on workshop, which is frequently based on applied science and in-depth clinical experience. This gives professionals in the field the chance to see how theory may be applied realistically “on the treatment table.” Care giving for children, whether neurotypical or not, and caregiving for the elderly will be examined collectively in the context of movement techniques that foster learning and enhance the standard of living and cognitive ability across a range of The conference will be held on the Medieval Charles University campus in Prague (September 13, 14, and 15 of 2024), and anyone with an interest in or connection to brain, movement, or cognition is welcome to attend.
