About This Event

The world’s most exciting medical advances in the treatment of neurological conditions aren’t happening thousands of miles away – they’re happening right here in the North East. Join the Newcastle Hospitals Charity on Wednesday 21 October for a rare opportunity to hear from internationally recognised experts – Mr Akbar Hussain, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Newcastle Hospitals, Clinical Director NCNN and Dr Luke Bashford, Lecturer in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology at Newcastle University, Scientific Director NCNN, as they discuss the rapid rise and pace of development in modern neurotechnologies, such as brain-computer interfaces and neurostimulators, and combining advances in artificial intelligence. We are entering a new era of patient care, understanding the human brain, and restoring abilities that previously would have been unimaginable. Chaired by Professor Anya Hurlbert, Professor of Visual Neuroscience and Dean of Advancement at Newcastle University. This is a fascinating discussion, not to be missed.
