Neurotechnology Seminar Series
Join us for an engaging seminar series exploring the latest breakthroughs in neurotechnology! Leading researchers from a range of fields — including neuroscience, engineering, medicine, psychology, physics, philosophy, and education — across the UK will share insights into the most recent developments in the field.
Our next seminar: new brain stimulation techniques to improve memory functions
Wednesday, 7th May, 3:00 – 5:00 pm
Seminar Room, 62 Hillhead Street, Glasgow, G12 8QB
Join Dr Ines Violante and Prof. Simon Hanslmayr for our next neurotechnology seminar as they share their recent findings in the field of brain stimulation and memory response. You can also join this seminar via Zoom and after the event keep the conversation going over nibbles and drinks!

Dr Ines Violante - King's College London
Temporal interference (TI) electrical stimulation is a non-invasive method to target the hippocampus. It can modulate hippocampal activity and enhance episodic memory performance, as well as to causally probe cortical-hippocampal communication during sleep, offering new insights into the mechanisms underlying memory consolidation.
Prof. Simon Hanslmayr - Cognition and Oscillations Lab University of Glasgow
Human memory can potentially be enhanced through two approaches: using multi-sensory flickering movies to modulate brain oscillations; and targeting single-neuron activity in the hippocampus to identify and reactivate specific memories. These approaches could be applied to wearable technologies to support memory improvement in clinical population.
Upcoming Sessions
Sessions will be held at the Advanced Research Centre (ARC) and the School of Psychology & Neuroscience (SPN).
