Can our understanding of consciousness facilitate lines of communication with patients in a vegetative state? This question will be addressed at a free public lecture, which will close the 18th Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness annual conference ( ASSC18 ). This year the conference will be hosted by the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland.

The lecture will be presented by Professor #course ">Stanislas Dehaene of Collège de France, a global leader in the field of cognitive neuroscience and recipient of this year's prestigious €1 million Brain Prize.



Professor Dehaene will show how several techniques can be used to decode neural signals and identify patterns associated with conscious responses to stimuli. Observing these patterns within patients in a vegetative state may establish an avenue of communication previously unavailable. You can watch one of the Professors previous lectures regarding consciousness and reading here .

Join one of the leading minds in neuroscience for a free and informative evening.
