We welcome members from all backgrounds, with any level of neural knowledge. Whether you're a fourth year embarking on a neuroscience research project, or an incoming fresher studying modern languages with classics, we all have a brain which can become curious of itself sometimes... that's exactly why you are reading this. Let your brain be curious and join our inclusive and friendly society.
We will explore topics ranging from altered states of conciousness, drug effects on the brain, neurophenomenology, neuroanthropology, the ethics of brain-computer interfaces, dreaming, brain and gut connection, neurogenesis, to whole brain emulation (WBE). We will cater discussion to all levels of knowledge

Proposed 2023/24 Events
NeuroSoc Talks
Invited by the committee, lecturers from the school of Psychology and Neuroscience, students of Neuroscience and Neurosoc members will take the floor to present a topic in neuroscience of their choosing. After a short presentation, members can engage in open discussion. Good practise for assessed presentations.

Engage with fellow neuroscience enthusiasts at our regular socials! If you don’t study neuroscience, it doesn’t matter! Whether your background is in English or Geography, or even if you just want to meet some new people, we would love to see you there!
