LNG Bulletin – October 2022

We are putting out a call for presenters – students, postdocs, & PIs – who would benefit from discussing their research in an informal environment, with other neuroscientists – so please register your interest as a speaker here if:

• you’d like to tell us about your interesting study, exciting results or new technology;
• you have a research problem & want to pick our brains;
• you want to forge new connections, or invite collaborators to join your project;
• there’s a burning neuroscience issue you want to discuss with like-minded folk;

2:00pm – 10-minute presentations, with time for discussion, problem solving, and encouragement after each talk. ECRs at any stage are encouraged to contribute.

4:00pm – Dr David Carey will lead a session giving effective presentations

5:00pm – Nibbles, drinks and networking

(Times subject to change)

Reader in Psychology, Bangor University

David Carey studies sensorimotor control processes in healthy volunteers and neurological patients. Current projects include recording and quantifying manual asymmetries in left-handers and right-handers and quantification of attentional biases towards the preferred hand, which may prove a useful marker for cerebral asymmetries for speech and language.

Dr. Carey is an enthusiastic and engaging lecturer, and he’s kindly accepted our invite (and challenge!) to present on presenting effectively [as a neuroscientist].
