Consciousness and brain complexity
Professor Marcello Massimini is a world leader in consciousness research, a practising neurophysiologist and most importantly a great speaker!

He is part of the Luminous Consortium,a European Union-funded research programme featuring eight academic institutions across Europe. The consortium studies how we can measure and alter consciousness in the electrical brain using non-invasive brain stimulation.
