The Unit held its fifteenth Science Day on Friday 9th December 2022. Unpublished work and future research projects were the focus of discussion, and Unit members and visitors enthusiastically took the chance to provide the constructive feedback needed for multidisciplinary team science.

There were 8 short research talks and 17 poster presentations, almost all of which were given by the Unit’s early-career scientists. Attendees were also treated to two Keynote Lectures: A first by Dr. Nir Grossman of the UK Dementia Research Institute and Imperial College London, in which he gave an engaging account of the development and use of non-invasive temporal interference for deep brain stimulation; and a second lecture by Dr. Sharanya Desai of NeuroPace Inc. that showcased insightful generalizable approaches to the refined use of neurotechnology for clinical interventions in people with neurological disorders.

Professor Peter Magill commented: “A brilliant day, from start to finish. A great opportunity to share ideas and data with colleagues, but also to take stock of our collective progress in the collaborative application of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to brain research. The vigour of the community was really uplifting.”
