As the fifth in a series of symposia focusing on the relationship between learning and brain function, this symposium will now focus on the myths and realities which have emerged from recent research data. During the Decade of the Brain, researchers produced significant amounts of new information about the practical application of findings in neuroscience, as reported in newspapers, magazines, and books by a variety of authors. The question is, How much of this information is accurate: Who is interpreting it? Why? We have learned more about the brain during the last 20-30 years than in all of human history. It is now time for the experts to debate the myths and realities associated with learning and the brain research findings. The purpose of this symposium is to present a program in which learning will occur in a public forum among educators, scientists, parents, artists, health professionals, cultural anthropologists, students, and the general public. Through the exploration of the many related issues, the audience will have the opportunity to consider and integrate the material for practical use in daily life and, particularly for the education of children. Lectures and panel discussions will be designed for specialists and students alike. A post-symposium publicaton is planned, as are additional outcome-related news media stories.

作为一系列研讨会中的第五个，重点是学习和大脑功能之间的关系，这次研讨会现在将集中讨论从最近的研究数据中出现的神话和现实。 在大脑的十年中，研究人员产生了大量关于神经科学发现的实际应用的新信息，如报纸，杂志和各种作者的书籍所报道的那样。 问题是，这些信息有多少是准确的：谁在解释它？ 为什么？为什么？ 在过去的20-30年里，我们对大脑的了解比人类历史上所有的知识都要多。 现在是专家们讨论与学习和大脑研究结果相关的神话和现实的时候了。 本次研讨会的目的是提出一个方案，其中学习将发生在教育工作者，科学家，家长，艺术家，卫生专业人员，文化人类学家，学生和公众之间的公共论坛。 通过对许多相关问题的探讨，观众将有机会考虑和整合材料，以供日常生活中的实际使用，特别是对儿童的教育。 讲座和小组讨论将为专家和学生设计。 计划在研讨会后出版一份刊物，并增加与成果有关的新闻媒体报道。
