Thanks to discoveries in neuroscience, it is now easier to analyze brain mechanisms and the way we process and store information. Among other things, these discoveries enable us to fine-tune learning methods adapted to children, with the aim of helping them succeed at school.

Nonetheless, neuropedagogy raises a number of questions for teachers and parents alike:
- What is the actual contribution of neuroscience to pedagogy?
- Do cognitive sciences provide teachers with the keys to changing teaching practices, so that every pupil can take control of his or her own learning and success?
- How can neuroscience knowledge be reconciled with the diversity of learning styles?

This Science Bar will feature three speakers:
=> Gina Devau, Doctor of Neuroscience, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Science, University of Montpellier. President of the Comédie des neurones
=> Bénédicte Gendron, Doctor of Psychology and Neuropsychology, University Professor of Education at Paul Valéry University
=> Nicolas Saby, Doctor of Mathematics, Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Science, University of Montpellier, Director of the Department of Scientific Teaching and Research on Teaching.
