CONTROL PROCESSES 2026


June 10-12th, 2026, Ghent, Belgium

Program

Control Processes 2026 will be held at the historic Sint-Baafshuis, Room 1.05, Biezekapelstraat 2, located in the heart of Ghent, Belgium, on June 10-12th, 2026. Similar to the format of previous meetings, Control Processes will be a small, single-track meeting that will bring together scientists addressing cognitive control function from a range of approaches and levels of analysis with lots of opportunity for discussion and debate. Participants at past meetings have included scientists approaching cognitive control from human cognitive psychology, computational modeling, neuroscience, anatomy, disease and disorder, developmental, language, and animal models. Similar to previous editions, Control Processes 2026 will be PI-only, to ensure the meeting remains small. This way, most attendees can also be given the opportunity to present, through a curated set of symposia, lectures, and a keynote, as well as blitz talks selected from abstracts submitted by registered attendees. Mark your calendar, and we look forward to meeting all of you!

- Lara Bardi, Nico Boehler, Senne Braem, Clay Holroyd, Ruth Krebs, and Tom Verguts
