Have you ever wondered how your brain navigates the complexities of language to define your perceptions of people and society? What happens when those mechanisms start breaking down and how can we detect it? Learn about all this and more at our event. Join us at 7pm at the Harcourt Bar and Garden!

Brain Health: The Power of Early Detection in Dementia

Himanshi Malik (Business Operations Executive, Linus Health (TCD Alumnus))

What if we could catch dementia early—and even delay it? Research suggests almost half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed. Explore how small steps, new digital tools, and early detection can make a big difference in the dementia journey.

Do I really trust what you just said?

Jaimy Hannah (Postdoctoral Researcher, Trinity College Dublin)

Speech perception is impacted by factors that have little to do with language. How we feel about someone can affect the way we perceive what they say. Here we investigate how trust – or lack thereof – impacts speech tracking.

Wired without Wires: Neural messaging in health and disease

Prabhav Mehra (PostDoc, Trinity College Dublin )

Our neurons communicate with electricity! By placing sensors on the head, we can detect these electrical messages as "brain waves." These waves reflect patterns of communication and indicate neural working. Unusual patterns of messaging could be sign of disease-related error.
