Some highlights of public engagement involving CDT Neurotechnology students are listed below.
The Brilliant Club is an award-winning charity that aims to increase the number of pupils from underrepresented backgrounds progressing to highly-selective universities. In Autumn 2018, cohort 4 student Richard Daws gave a series of tutorials titled "Looking inside the living human brain" to four groups of six KS4 pupils and two London schools, for the Brilliant Club. Richard talked about how cognitive neuroscientists use brain imaging techniques to ask questions around brain function |
