About Symposium

Brain is one of the most fascinating object we all carry and use every minute. A typical brain contains around 100 billion cells—almost as numerous as the stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Its intricate and complex workings and relationship with our thoughts and our private inner world of reflection, perception, contemplation, and above all, with our subjective conscious experiences, are areas of research at frontline today.
