Why do some people feel pain more acutely than others? What’s going on inside our brains and bodies when we experience a painful sensation? Dr Giandomenico Iannetti will guide us through the neurophysiology of our sensory systems, and show us how current techniques of investigating touch and pain can be beneficial to us in the future.

Dr Giandomenico Iannetti is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology at University College London.

Café Scientifique events aim to provide a forum for the debate and discussion of scientific ideas, audience participation is strongly encouraged. Food and drink will be available to purchase throughout the event. Admission will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
