Running from 17th - 21st October 2009, Neuroscience 2009 was the largest conference of the year for Neuroscientists. It was hosted by the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) at the McCormick Place convention centre in Chicago, Illinois. Aside from the brilliant talks from such leaders in the field as Richard Morris and Eric Kandel, the week hosted 15,000 posters across nine sessions. There were also special lectures, exhibitions and a whole series of symposia, minisymposia and even nanosymposia!

Poster Presentation

My work was presented in the morning session of posters on Monday 19th October 2009, within the category 'Epilepsy at the Network Level', part of the 'Disorders of the Nervous System' theme. 'Seizure Prediction in in vitro models of epileptiform activity' Robert Gardner, Magnus Richardson & Bruno Frenguelli The contents of the poster comprised principles that I am using within my research, in addition to the progress that has been made over the course of the first year of my PhD.
