Researchers

INN researchers are working together to drive progress and innovation in neuroscience and neurotechnology.

INN is host to an interdisciplinary group of researchers spanning cellular and molecular neuroscience to systems neuroscience and beyond. We bring together researchers from across 6 Faculties, including Applied Sciences, Arts and Social Sciences, Education, Communication, Art and Technology, Health Sciences, and Science.
