Like in previous years, after the Xmas pause, we will receive the 2019 with our
traditional "New Year Lecture".<br>
As usual it will be announced during the last week or during first days of the
new year. <br>
It will revolve around a topic we have scarcely discussed: the neuroscience of
consciousness. <br>
After that Lecture, Xueshan and Plamen will tentatively organize respective
discussion sessions.<br>
<br>
And to everybody: enjoy the Xmas time! Feliz Navidad from Zaragoza. <br>
See below the Nativity Scene in the square of El Pilar Basilica. </span></font><font
