Central Branch

Meeting Room 1

Learn about your mind! Discover how the brain affects our gut, then explore how robotics are used to study the brain.

The first Brain Storm talk, with Miruna Jurj and Hayley Bromley, will explore the fascinating connection between our gut microbiome and brain and how this communication pathway may be involved in mental health and psychiatric conditions.

In the second session, Kayne Park will discuss the application of robotics. Our brains can process information faster than the eye can blink (~300ms). So, we need highly accurate tools to understand how we interact with our dynamic environment. Kayne will present how robotics can be used for neuroscience research and further elaborate on their importance for neurological assessments.
