See you at SAMBA X MEG!

We are looking forward to welcoming you to SAMBA x MEG – Salzburg Mind Brain Annual Meeting, taking place on 2–3 July 2026 in the beautiful city of Salzburg.

Following the last SAMBA meeting in 2024, we were inspired to continue this tradition and to celebrate a special milestone: the 10-year anniversary of MEG in Salzburg. This edition of SAMBA will highlight how magnetoencephalography and related neuroimaging approaches contribute to our understanding of brain dynamics across perception, cognition, language, and clinical neuroscience.

The meeting will bring together researchers studying the neural mechanisms underlying perception, language, attention, mental imagery, auditory processing, and brain function in clinical settings. By connecting methodological advances with theoretical and clinical perspectives, the conference aims to foster discussion across different areas of cognitive and systems neuroscience.

We are delighted to welcome an outstanding lineup of international speakers:

• Andrea E. Martin (Radboud University / Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics)
• Ayelet Landau (Hebrew University of Jerusalem / University College London)
• Bruno L. Giordano (Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone (INT), CNRS and Aix Marseille Université)
• Joachim Groß (University of Münster)
• Judit Gervain (Padua Neuroscience Center, University of Padua, CNRS & Université Paris Descartes)
• Marzia De Lucia (University of Lausanne)
• Nadine Dijkstra (Department of Imaging Neuroscience (the FIL), Institute of Neurology, University College London)
• Richard Gao (Goethe University Frankfurt)
• Simon Jacob (TUM University Hospital)
• Stefan Rampp (Uniklinikum Erlangen)

We look forward to welcoming you to Salzburg for inspiring discussions, new collaborations, and the celebration of a decade of MEG research in Salzburg.
