Biljana Gjoneska
- Details

Her research activities are emphasized in the area of Social and Cognitive Neuroscience and synthesized in two major domains of interest:
- Neural correlates of group behaviour and decision making, Neuropolitics, Neuroethics
The aforementioned pillars of her academic achievement are additionally supported by a range of scholar and scientific activities in the neuroscience domain such as: active participation in numerous training events (seminars, workshops, summer schools and e-learning courses) and various scientific events (conferences, congresses and symposiums). The strong educational milieu, providing optimal conditions for development of scientific potential, resulted in 18 scientific publications (13 of which are signed by her as a first author).
In her pastime she nurtures her love for neuroscience, verbal intelligence and words in general, on a fairly different level. Namely, she writes prose and poetry, exploring wide array of sound literary devices. For more information please refer to her official homepage (www.evermind.me).
