Department of Experimental Psychology - Cognitive & Behavioural Neuroscience Seminar series (BEACON)

13:00 - Behavioural and Cognitive Neuroscience (Beacon) Seminar: Mapping the Evolution and Development of the Primate Brain by Neuroimaging Techniques
We are pleased to announce that on Tuesday (10th September) Dr Tomoko Sakai from National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) in Japan will deliver a BEACON seminar. Tomoko works on brain anatomy of primates (chimps, marmoset, and humans) and is making a map visualising the evolution of primate brain. Dr Kentaro Miyamoto is hosting so if you would like to chat with Tomoko on the day, or join for drinks/dinner, please do get in touch with Kentaro.
