Vivas, Costas Pappas and John H. GruzelierEditors:Panagiotis D. Bamidis, Manousos A. Klados Ana B. Vivas, Costas Pappas and John H. GruzelierTechnical Assistance:Chrysa LithariISBN: 978-960-243-679-9 Publisher: Laboratory of Medical Informatics, Medical School, Aristotle University of ThessalonikiWelcome Notehe Society of Applied Neuroscience (SAN) has pleasure in welcoming you to its 3rd biennial meeting, 5-8th May, 2011, held in Greeces second, and ancient coastal city Thessaloniki. The meeting is hosted by Professor Panagiotis Bamidis of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Dr Ana Vivas of the South-East European Research Centre, Greece. The meeting has the support of the Northern Greece Psychological Society, the Hellenic Society of Biomedical Engineering, and the Hellenic Society of Neurophysiology.SAN is a nonprofit membership organization devoted to advancing neuroscientific knowledge and its innovative applications by empowering both scientists and practitioners in serving the public by optimising self-regulatory brain function. It promotes an integrated approach involving neural, cognitive and behavioural levels of analysis. In advancing integrative neuroscience, novel applications include neurofeedback (EEG, fMRI, NIRS), autonomic nervous system biofeedback, brain-computer interface (BCI), neuro-rehabilitation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), virtual reality feedback, vagus nerve stimulation, electro-cranial stimulation, audio-visual stimulation, etc.Thus its foremost scientific aim is to foster and educate an integrative approach across the range of methodologies in applied neuroscience, rather than focussing on a single methodology. For the practitioner ,application domains cover clinical treatment, education and optimal performance. SAN promotes evidence-based practice in order to optimise functions in both health and disease. The previous two meetings in Swansea and Seville were held in collaboration with the E U COST B27 initiative Electrical Neuronal Oscillations & Cognition, as was a workshop in Dubrovnik. This ENOC action has now ended and this is the first meeting solely under SANs auspices.It is also the first meeting that fulfils SANs aims of offering a wide range of applications and methodologies in applied neuroscience, coming together in a three-track programme, and so denotes the growing maturity of the Society. It remains for me to thank and congratulate you for the excellent calibre of the science in the response to the call for presentations, and to thank most sincerely my Greek hosts and colleagues, and to wish you a most enjoyable meeting.John GruzelierPresident, Society of Applied Neuroscience.TCONFERENCE CHAIRSPanagiotis D.
