Welcome aboard for an adventurous journey through the human brain. Come and try our VR goggles and live the experience. Meet neuroscientists, play the brain story game, and join in a discussion on the links between art and science.

This is a Picturing Parkinson’s event. This project brings together artists, patients and neuroscientists to bridge the gap between objective research into Parkinson’s Disease and people’s lived experience of the condition.
