Brain stimulation and its applications to memory: best practice
Workshop Leaders: Prof Kim Shapiro and Dr Sara Assecondi School of Psychology
Brain stimulators are safe, internet enabled for both stimulation and transfer of data, inexpensive and easy to use. However, despite the vast literature on brain stimulation, the field is still in its infancy and there is still little consensus on the best protocols. This workshop will bring UK and international experts together with UoB researchers and NHS practitioners to overcome the current difficulties in this rapidly developing field.

Anonymity: Past, Present and Futures unknown
Workshop Leader: Prof Jonathan Reinarz, , Institute of Applied Health Research
This workshop will explore how one lives in a world without anonymity. After all, Google knows everything! It will also explore how and why some people have in the past lived anonymously and others try to continue to do so today.
