The 2nd IASAT Congress – 2017 – Liverpool, UK

Friday 1st September – Sunday 3rd September 2017

Following the successful inaugural congress in 2015, we once again brought together researchers from around the world to explore and discuss the biology and psychology of affective touch, and its role in brain development and social behaviour.

Several influential studies have examined the neurobiology, physiology and genetics of affective touch, and highlighted its social and cognitive importance. The aim of the IASAT Congress is to provide a platform for fruitful scientific exchanges in this nascent field, and foster interdisciplinary dialogue between scientists and professionals in education, health and social care.
