So grateful to team up with Guillaume Dumas RAIL Lab 🇿🇦 and g.tec medical engineering GmbH to reimagine neuroimaging science that is ecologically valid and accessible at our #SABrainhack with our EEG hyperscanning project! Think Unicorn! CIFAR IBRO - International Brain Research Organization

A defining moment of our #SAbrainhack was DrRachaelDee talk speaking to the importance of positionality and subjective experience in the research process, while unpacking systemic inequalities in neuroscience that impact “African” based scientists.



A trailblazer in neuroimaging science - Prof Ernesta Meintjes - director of CUBIC UCT Neuroscience Institute teaches us important lessons in academic humility and courage in establishing the first dedicated MRI research facility in sub-Saharan Africa! Check out her outstanding talk below ⬇️
