Guest speaker Professor Jamie Ward from Sussex University will talk about his research into synaesthesia.
In natural environments, individual senses are rarely stimulated in isolation. As a result of this, the brain is tuned to integrate different sensory inputs to guide behaviour. Moreover, stimulation of only one sense often modulates activity in brain regions supporting other senses and, in some people, results in perceptual experiences in that other sense (e.g. seeing sounds) – a phenomenon termed synaesthesia.
Free drinks and snacks.
