This April, Edinburgh will host the British Neuroscience Association’s (BNA) biennial Festival of Neuroscience. This prestigious professional conference, now in its 50th year, will see neuroscientists from across the country gather in Edinburgh. In celebration, we’ll be presenting Brainwaves, a mini-festival of brain, mind and consciousness exploring one of the most mysterious objects in the universe.

With the mind/machine interface, the cultural history of the brain and the ethics of neurological experimentation on the menu, our Brainwaves programme offers up a mind-blowing selection of stimulating encounters with our own personal supercomputers.

From investigating the relation between Gender and the Brain (April 10) and age and the brain in Me and Granny are Learning Spanish: is it ever too late to learn a second language? (April 15) and The Living Brain (April 9) to studying murderess’ psychology in Lethal Lassies (April 8) or impacts of dancing on our brain with Dr Peter Lovatt in Born To Dance (April 16) – it is all about that brain! Have a look on our website to discover full range of events and book the tickets.
