Professor Nathalie Rochefort, Personal Chair of Visual Neuroscience“Billions of neurons to see your world”Professor Nathalie Rochefort's lecture explores her work as a neuroscientist specialising in visual perception. Her research has driven the development of innovative imaging technologies that allow us to visualise active neurons in the brain. Using these tools, she has explored how neurons in the brain interpret the visual information received from our eyes. She will show how this neuronal processing is influenced by various factors, including past experiences and current metabolic states, which together enable us to perceive and interact efficiently with our world. ***5.00pm - 6.15pm - inaugural lectures6.15pm - 7.15pm - drinks receptionThis event is free and open to all.Please indicate any dietary or access requirements when you register to attend.Lectures are in-person only and will not be live-streamed.
