The Inaugural Congress for the Internation Association for the study of Affective Touch was held to much success between the 20 and 22nd of March, 2015.
Speakers and Chairs: included Emmanuel Bourinet (France), Carissa Cascio (USA), Chris Dijkerman (Netherlands), Katerina Fotopoulou (UK), Steve Guest (USA), Patrick Haggard (UK), Giandomenico Iannetti (UK), Donna Lloyd (UK), Sarah Lloyd-Fox (UK), Francis McGlone (UK), India Morrison (Sweden), Håkan Olausson (Sweden), Martin Paulus (USA), Charles Spence (UK), Johan Wessberg (Sweden) and special guest Camila Batmanghelidjh (Kids Company, UK).
The main aim of the congress was to provide a platform for fruitful scientific exchanges in this nascent field, and brought together for the first time researchers from around the world exploring the nature and role of affective touch in the human brain and mind. We particularly hoped the congress would foster interdisciplinary dialogue between the different fields interested in affective touch such as psychology, physiology, genetics, neurobiology, and affective neuroscience.
During the meeting, we also held the first, founding meeting of the International Association for the Study of Affective Touch, in which the mission and governance of the Society was decided.
