Synapse Social is back!

What if ultrasound could reduce addiction-related cravings by targeting a specific part of the brain?

This week we’re discussing studies which have used focused ultrasound neuromodulation to assist in treating addiction.

One interesting finding: participants showed an average 91% reduction in cue-induced opioid craving following treatment.

Come along and join us in learning more about this topic!

Monday 10 August | 11 AM

Kicking off Semester 2 with a Neurotech picnic!

This event is a chance to get to know others in the neurotech community (new and returning members welcome!).

Come find us on the grass, grab some food and get to meet so fellow neurotech enthusiast. We will have some conversation starters including neuroscience theories, controversial neuroethics and questions to get you thinking (and talking). No pressure, no expertise required, just good vibes and good company.

📍 Where: Great Court
🗓️ When: 29th July at 2:00 PM

Come as you are or bring a friend, and let's kick off the semester together!

SYNAPSE SOCIAL

Ever wished you could turn up one conversation in a noisy room using only your brain?

Join us for the next Synapse Social, where we'll be discussing a Neuroscience paper on real-time brain-controlled selective hearing, a neurotechnology system that decodes which speaker a person is paying attention to and dynamically amplifies that voice in real time.

📖 Paper:
Real-time brain-controlled selective hearing enhances speech perception in multi-talker environments:

Underground Brain Project - Lab Tour

What if the underground networks of fungi aren't so different from the human brain?

UQ Neurotech invites you to an exclusive lab tour of the Underground Brain Project at the UQ a pioneering research initiative investigating how mycelium networks communicate through electromagnetic signals, using artificial intelligence to decode the "language" of different mushroom varieties.

The tour will be led by Professor Janet Wiles, Professor of Human Centred Computing at in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UQ. With 30 years of experience in AI, neuroscience, and complex systems, Professor Wiles leads a multidisciplinary team bridging art, science, and engineering to better understand the living world beneath our feet.

Whether you're into neuroscience, biotech, AI, or just curious this is a great opportunity to me researchers at UQ and even learn about how you might be able to get involved.

Date: Thursday, 30th April
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Meet Outside General Purpose South - Room 121A, UQ
