HACK THE BRAIN – PRE EVENT

In anticipation of ‘Hack The Brain’ this June 9-11th, this panel, featuring leading academic experts will present five talks on their relevant areas of neuroscience, psychology and brain-related research, including the challenges and the emerging trends in the technology used to measure the signals from the brain. The panel will also demonstrate and explore the connection between art and the brain, how neuroscientists can analyse signals from the brain to make inferences about different topics and the ethical questions surrounding the use of technology to explore the mysterious workings of the brain.

‘Hack the Brain’ Dublin is an immersive, creative weekend in Science Gallery Dublin that aims to get artists, designers, neuroscientists, psychologists, engineers and developers working together exploring brain signals and brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to create artworks, prototypes or innovative solutions.

Panel:

Richard Roche - Dept. of Psychology, Maynooth University
Lorraine Boran - School of Nursing & Human Sciences, Dublin City University
Ian Robertson - Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience
Fiachra Ó Brolcháin - School of Theology, Philosophy & Music, Dublin City University
Francesca Farina - School of Psychology, University College Dublin

The hackathon projects for Hack the Brain will be announced at this event.

The BrainHack project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 686987. The project is supported by the FET Open initiative, which supports the early stages of science and technology research and innovation around new ideas towards radically new future technologies. This project is part of the EU STARTS initiative.
