Announcing Brunel's Fourth Brain Awareness Week

Brain Awareness Week, an initiative of the Dana Foundation, is an international campaign to increase public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. Since 1996, around 2600 schools, universities, and hospitals from 82 countries, including many institutions across the UK, have participated in this week-long celebration of the brain. Through the provision of a variety of engaging activities and discussions, contributors to the campaign disseminate the latest innovations in neuroscience to the wider community. The fourth Brunel contribution to this event is jointly organised by Dr. Alex Nowicky from the School of Health Sciences and Social Care, as well as Dr. Adrian Williams and Dr. Andrew Parton from the School of Social Sciences. This open-invitation public event will provide a series of short talks, posters and demonstrations designed to promote brain health and showcase Brunel's own contributions to neuroscience research.

Staff from across the university will contribute to a wide ranging programme. This cross-departmental concerted effort will introduce a variety of topics from psychology and neuroscience in an accessible and engaging manner. Please feel free to attend a selection of talks that particularly interest you; of course, should you wish to find out more about the many facets and functions of your brain, we will be delighted for you to join us for the duration of the event.

This free public event will take place in the Darwin Room in the Hamilton Centre on Tuesday 11th March 2014 (lunch / mid-afternoon tea / coffee break is provided).

We are very excited this year to have Prof David Nutt (Imperial College London) as our keynote speaker.
