Informazioni su questo podcast
The NeuroCentury podcast is a series of conversations about the importance of the brain in the times we live in. Its particular focus is on what can be done, including in policy, to advance the brain agenda: look after our brain and mental health, support brain-derived technology, or develop our societies’ cognitive skills. Guests range from patients, technologists, scientists, ethicists, policy-makers, to investors and funders. The podcast is hosted by Paweł Świeboda, who combines his policy and science management experience to ask what it will mean to live in the century of the brain.
