West Kingston, RI – November 10, 2009 – Dr. Kerry Evers of Pro-Change Behavior Systems, Inc. is one of 20 experts who have been invited by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Monitor Institute to the “Forum on the Future Impact of Neuroscience and Behavior Change” to take place on November 11-12 at RWJF’s Princeton headquarters. RWJF’s Pioneer Portfolio and the Monitor Institute are convening a small group of researchers, academics, physicians, and industry leaders in the fields of neurotechnology, neurodevelopment, and behavior change. The forum is designed to shine a light on key areas of innovation, to highlight new opportunities for key players, and to forge a greater sense of connectivity among leading thinkers in these three fields.
Over the course of two days, participants will engage in a series of highly iterative, forward-looking discussions on neurotechnology, neurodevelopment, and behavior change. This will culminate in a wrap-up session that will integrate the thinking across all three areas and highlight connections and implications for the future of health and health care. The meetings will help identify key areas of exploration and development, inspire a greater sense of connectivity, and potentially create a new way of engaging with key stakeholders to foster and leverage ideas and innovation.
