Its only grounds to exist is for an expression of my personal views and interests, which whilst certainly not being an original venture, will hopefully provide a novel interpretation of the reasons and ways we each experience the world through our brains and through the uniqueness of ourselves. I am currently undertaking a PhD in Computational Neuroscience and my main areas of interest are related to computational methods to investigate cognition and epilepsy.

The culture surrounding alcohol is very different all around the world, but speaking from the perspective of the UK, it is very unhealthy/binge related.…

The nervous system The nervous system is responsible for receiving and processing all the information in the body. It is divided into two distinct sections, the central nervous system (CNS) which is comprised of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which is comprised of all our sensory organs and the…
