Class of 2021: you did it! #CardiffGrad

On the 22nd of July, almost 2 years after finishing my master’s degree Cardiff University, I finally graduated with an MSc in Neuroimaging along with the prize for the ‘Best Overall Performance’. It was lovely to spend the day celebrating with family and friends.

Welcome to the attendees of our first #COGNESTIC MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, which explains and demonstrates state-of-the-art methods in #CognitiveNeuroscience and #Neuroimaging. If you weren't able to attend this time, maybe see you next year? mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/conferences/co…

#COGNESTIC serving as the best event to start joining that twitter game! Such great two weeks full of new knowledge, delicious food and chatting with so cool people! 🧠✨

Congratulations to Memlab’s Helena Gellersen Helena Gellersen and Michael Siena on their PhD graduations. So great to celebrate their success, achieved over the most challenging times.

The paracingulate sulcus is a fascinating brain structure, demonstrating individual variability that has been linked with reality monitoring ability & hallucinations. We've updated our paracingulate sulcus measurement protocol & made it freely available: doi.org/10.17863/CAM.1…

MemLab Christmas Lunch ahoy!

Just one week to go until the CamBRAIN Chistmas Party, featuring our annual festive Neurotalks! 🎄🧑‍🎄 This year we will be *wishing you a very memory christmas* so we're hearing from Molly S.E. Rowlands from MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and Samantha Mitchell from Dept of Psychology - more below!

Then we've got Sam answering how do we even know out memories are real?? She's studying this by looking at when it goes wrong - hallucinations 🤯 - through her PhD in Jon Simons lab in Dept of Psychology

Hope you've got your jumpers and antlers at the ready because IT'S TONIGHT! 🎄🎅🥂🧠🥳 Neurotalks from the amazing Molly S.E. Rowlands @MRC_LMB & Samantha Mitchell Dept of Psychology and then a night of festive fun 🤩

It was indeed a very ✨memory✨ Christmas last night at our final Neurotalks of the year! Huge thank you to our wonderful speakers Molly S.E. Rowlands and Samantha Mitchell 😍👏 CamBRAIN wishes you all a relaxing and happy christmas break 🤗
