Neurotechnology Seminar Series
Join us for an engaging seminar series exploring the latest breakthroughs in neurotechnology! Leading researchers from a range of fields — including neuroscience, engineering, medicine, psychology, physics, philosophy, and education — across the UK will share insights into the most recent developments in the field.
Brain stimulation and neural response analysis
Thursday 3rd April 4.00-5.30pm
Studio 2 - Advanced Research Centre (ARC)
11 Chapel Lane, Glasgow, G11 6EW
Join us for the first session in our exciting neurotechnology seminar series. Join Dr Luke Bashford and Dr Emmanuel Molefi as they share their recent findings in the field of brain stimulation and neural response analysis. After the event keep the conversation going over nibbles and drinks!
Dr Luke Bashford - Newcastle University
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are used to study neural mechanisms underlying human sensorimotor and cognitive function for basic science and clinical translation. Their study is achieved by recording and stimulating through intracranial or intra cortical electrodes during various experimental paradigms with clinical patients.
Dr Emmanuel Molefi - CNNP - Lab Newcastle University
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique shows potential for preventing motion sickness, though its exact impact remains unclear. Recent research, involving motion sickness-inducing stimuli combined with a taVNS and monitored through ECG and EEG, explores these effects along with statistical and computational analysis methods.

Sessions will be held at the Advanced Research Centre (ARC) and the School of Psychology & Neuroscience (SPN).
