The Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics & Mental Health presents the second of its 2015-16 Public Lecture Series
The Information Revolution Meets Mental Health

The lecture will provide an overview of the past, present and future of brain imaging as a research tool and how brain-scanning technologies combined with sophisticated computational modelling can provide hitherto inaccessible information about what constitutes normal brain development and the impact of ageing diseases and mental illness.
