Perspectives and challenges for the study of brain responses to coaching: Enhancing the dialogue between the fields of neuroscience and coaching psychology

Article: The interest in coaching psychology and neuroscience have been steadily increasing over the past 15 years. However, the two fields have not yet established consistent dialogues underpinned by experimental research. This paper highlights the importance of such dialogue for the growth of evidence-based coaching and how coaching psychology could benefit from previous neuroimaging and electroencephalographic studies in the field of psychotherapy and task-specific brain functioning to design research protocols that could significantly contribute to our understanding of how coaching works at the brain level and how coachees could best achieve results.

Launched in August, 2020, The International Journal of Coaching Psychology is a peer reviewed journal that publishes theory, research and practice articles on all aspects of coaching psychology.

The International Journal of Coaching Psychology editorial team invite papers on the theory, research and practice of coaching psychology. Editorials are written by the editors on topics of general interest or journal policy. Perspectives, leading articles, invited papers and keynote speeches maybe commissioned from experts in the coaching psychology and applied fields.

The journal team welcome research and discussion papers, brief reports, short papers on techniques, book reviews and conference reports.

The journal is sponsored by the International Society for Coaching Psychology, a professional membership body.

The Editor is Dr Siobhain O’Riordan PhD.

Credibility in Neuroscience webinar on reporting

This webinar was broadcast on 19 August 2020 as part of the British Neuroscience Association’s (BNA) work to ensure that neuroscience research is as robust, reliable, replicable, and reproducible as possible – increasing credibility in neuroscience.

Find out how we can take steps to improve the credibility of how neuroscience research is reported by using some of the new innovative ways to do this.

The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is the largest UK organisation representing all aspects of neuroscience.

The Aims of the BNA are to:

• promote neuroscience research
• organise lectures, symposia, meetings, events and reports
• advise on issues in neuroscience
• engage with the public and the media
• train neuroscientists and other neuroscience-related professionals
• represent UK neuroscience to Government, funding agencies, and science administration, regulation and standards organisations.

The BNA is a growing learned society with around 1700 members. There are many benefits of membership, including free or discounted registration for events, discounted journals and books, the BNA Journal and many other offers.

Mental health: What presents has neuroscience left under the Christmas tree?
12th December – KCL, London

The burden of mental health disorders continues to grow with a huge impact on individuals, families, and healthcare provision. This year’s British Neuroscience Association (BNA) Christmas Symposium, held at London’s KCL, will bring together leading researchers to describe what neuroscience has contributed to the diagnosis, management and treatment of mental health disorders.

Neurodegeneration & The 3Rs: Models, Mechanisms & Resources.

Edinburgh, 6th December, 2016 

The Scottish TSE Network (STN) will host their annual one-day international symposium at the Roslin Institute (Edinburgh, UK) on state of the art approaches to studying neurodegenerative diseases that are consistent with the 3R principles (replacement, refinement, reduction) of animals in research.

Topics will include cell-free protein misfolding assays, human stem cell-based approaches and transgenic C. elegans and Drosophila models, in addition to the opportunities offered by tissue banking and in silico analysis.

BNA2017 Festival of Neuroscience

“Attending and contributing to meetings such as BNA2017 Festival of Neuroscience is core to a career in science. They provide the opportunity to discuss findings, discover fresh insights on your work, meet researchers from around the world and learn the latest developments in the field.”

“BNA2017 is one of the largest international neuroscience meetings in Europe in 2017, and presents the ideal opportunity for neuroscientists around the world to discuss their science and their ideas, across both discipline boundaries and national borders.”

John Isaac, Head of Neuroscience and Mental Health, The Wellcome Trust.
