For Brain Awareness Week, on Monday March 14th 2022, Neuroscientists at the Galway Neuroscience Center (GNC), NUI Galway have organised a day of talks, activities and fun quizzes about the brain, just for you! We aim to teach you all about the brain and show you some techniques that we as researchers use to measure brain activity.
Brain Awareness Week for TY Students
Interested to learn a bit more about the day in the life of a neuroscientist? You will have the opportunity to learn more about what we do on a day to day basis. We, as neuroscientists, come from a range of different disciplines such as medicine, psychiatry, physiology, psychology, and mathematics who all work together to help our understanding of the brain in relation to illness and their associated treatments.
Multiple experts will discuss neuroscience techniques such as EEG, MRI and cognitive testing. These techniques are used in clinical research to help us to understand the brain and how they relate to illness.
Novel treatments will then be discussed, such as prevention, cognitive remediation, and other new treatments in clinical neuroscience research.
