About ANA

Welcome to ANA! We are a non-profit volunteer organisation with members located worldwide who are passionate about applying neuroscience research to public health practice, education and industry, bridging the gap between the research lab and you! 

The pandemic has meant public health has undergone a resurgence of visibility among the public at large and policy makers. At ANA we believe trustworthy information should be made more accessible and where possible free to everyone. 

Bringing applied neuroscience into the organisations, to schools, healthcare, the home, and general health practice, helping to make the evidence more relevant and actionable to different settings and populations in a responsible and ethical way, and ultimately being an enabler of policy change. 

While facilitating the professional practice of applied neuroscience, playing a role in shaping the profession and promoting ethical practice. Establishing a representative body for applied neuroscience and applied neuroscientists worldwide.

ANA relies on membership subscriptions to support in making this possible, as well as volunteers both in and outside neuroscience, to bring an open and safe experience to you. JOIN US!
