In the Dark – Synapsium 2026
18th of April
Our brain is buzzing with countless processes every second of the day, and we are not even aware of most of them. Most of what the brain does happens out of sight. That is why this year’s Synapsium theme focuses on unconscious processes. Hidden “In the dark”, the unconscious mechanisms unknowingly shape our experiences, until we shed some light on them. So shall we do that together on this year’s Synapsium?

At its 14th edition, Synapsium is an annual neuroscience symposium hosted by Dondrite, the student association of the MSc Cognitive Neuroscience at Radboud University, Nijmegen. Organized by and for students, we take pride in connecting the latest generations of researchers as we give them a platform to present their own research, invite them to stimulating presentations and workshops, and motivate cross-institutional exchange. Next to this, there will be a keynote presentation of an established researcher and a panel discussion to discuss the latest topics in Cognitive Neuroscience together!
We have fond memories of an amazing day at Synapsium 2025 and want to thank everyone who joined for being there! The main topic After (H)ours brought us exciting keynote speakers, workshops, and more. Feeling nostalgic? Find the Synapsium 2025 page here.
We warmly invite you to follow us on our social media – Facebook, Linkedin, and Dondrite’s Instagram – and here on the website for further news and updates.
