A Celebration of Multisensory Neuroscience!
As part of our mission to increase public engagement with neuroscience research, the LNG is organising a festive celebration of Multisensory Neuroscience, featuring mince pies, presentations from local researchers, and a keynote lecture on Neurogastronomy by Professor Charles Spence.
It promises to be a multisensory feast!
