The Oxford Cognitive Neuroscience - Education Forum is an informal group of neuroscientists, psychologists and educationists who meet to explore and develop their common interest in the implications and applications of research in cognitive neuroscience for educational theory and practice.

The Oxford Cognitive Neuroscience - Education Forum was founded in July 2001 by Professor Colin Blakemore (University of Oxford) and Professor John Geake (Oxford Brookes University).

The two main objectives of the Oxford Cognitive Neuroscience - Education Forum are:

1. to design cognitive neuroscientific experiments that could address important educational concerns;
2. to inform the education profession of relevant cognitive neuroscientific research, while providing informed counter-arguments to the plethora of neuro-myths that are promulgated within educational circles.

The Oxford Cognitive Neuroscience - Education Forum is supported administratively by the Oxford Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience . Meetings are held once a term in the Oxford University Laboratory of Physiology, Parks Road, Oxford.
