We run a regular programme of brain-mapping seminars for staff, students and the public.

Seminars take place every Monday during term time at 12:10, unless stated otherwise.

They will be held in CUBRIC Seminar room 2, unless stated otherwise.

If you would be interested in attending a brain mapping seminar please email cubric@cardiff.ac.uk.

Cardiff University staff and students can access recordings of past seminars.
