Holmes Lecture Series - January 2024
Our brains are profoundly rhythmic, much like a great piece of music.
In this lecture, myself and a colleague from the Faculty of Medical Sciences (Dr Yuki Kikuchi) explore how our brains process sounds and why this is important.
We delve into questions such as how brain rhythms help us learn and remember things more effectively, like learning a new language or revising for an exam, and how the brain might be trained by new exciting techniques such as ultrasound stimulation.
