Previous events at the Centre for Human Brain Health

Each month a CHBH Principal Investigator and their lab team hosts an external speaker during a visit to the University and the CHBH. During the speaker's time here, they present a talk on their research and meet with various researchers across the CHBH and University. Recordings of previous events are sometimes available, see individual events for details
