World-renowned neuroscientist Susan Greenfield takes you on a journey through a day in the life of your brain, from dawn till dusk.

Each of us has a unique and subjective inner world, one that we can never share directly with anyone else. But how does a tangle of brain cells conjure up the rich experience of consciousness that occupies our every waking moment? What happens when we savour a meal or drink a glass of wine, spend time outdoors or stare at a screen, daydream or sleep? In short: what makes you, you?

Drawing on her pioneering new research, Susan will illuminate the mystery of consciousness through a single day in the life of the brain. From being awoken by an alarm to walking the dog, working in an open plan office to dreaming, Greenfield will follow the typical person as they go about their daily routine, revealing insights about the brain along the way.

Join us for a unique meeting of art and science, as two giants of their field tell a new story that you need to hear.
