The Unit held its sixteenth Science Day on Friday 30th June 2023. Unpublished work and future research projects were the focus of discussion, and Unit members and visitors enthusiastically took the chance to offer the constructive criticism needed to support collaboration and cutting-edge research.

There were 8 short research talks and 15 poster presentations, most of which were given by the Unit’s early-career scientists. Attendees were also treated to two Keynote Lectures: A first by Professor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy of the University of Oxford, in which he gave an engaging account of the regulation of brain activity during sleep and waking; and a second lecture by Dr. Erika Ross of Onward Medical that showcased career paths in the neurotechnology industry as well as the development of medical devices for clinical interventions in neurological disorders and spinal injury.

Unit Director Professor Peter Magill commented: “Another fantastic showcase of interdisciplinary research, and a timely opportunity to review our collective progress in fulfilling the Units’ Mission. It was a pleasure and a privilege to see the next generation of our talented researchers in action and to learn from them.”
