Bob, a now retired Bio-Medical Professor from Sunderland |University, has given us a number of riveting talks in recent years and we very much look forward to hearing this one too. We've heard how both parts of the brain work together for certain processes, yet work quite independently for others: we know now haw the various lobes of the brain are adapted to receive and act on stimuli from different areas of the body and how we can train our brain, we've learned how our bodies react to too much or too little sleep and what effect dreams have on our health and wellbeing. i wonder what we'll know after this visit?
