We all hallucinate every day - surprising, right? From hearing footsteps that aren’t there, or feeling our phone vibrating with no message, what we perceive is not always the objective truth!
Join the conversation with Crick neuroscientist Timothy Nguyen and award-winning comedian Juliette Burton, as they explore the world of hallucinations and psychosis through science and lived experience. They'll be uncovering some of the latest in neuroscience research and taking a deep dive into some of the big questions:
Our panel
Timothy Nguyen is an Australian- and British-trained psychiatrist. He was the first psychiatrist to be awarded a doctoral fellowship for clinicians at the Crick and his research, supervised by Katharina Schmack, investigates the biological mechanisms that underpin psychosis.
As a passionate clinician-scientist, he hopes that his research leads to improved treatments for severe and enduring mental disorders such as schizophrenia.
Juliette Burton is an award-winning performer, writer, presenter, and broadcast journalist. She has sold out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and has lived experience of mental illness.
Greg Foot is an award-winning science journalist, producer and presenter. He currently writes and hosts his popular weekly consumer science show (and podcast) "Sliced Bread" on BBC Radio 4.
This event has been co-created with the support of Dr. Thomas Kabir, senior researcher from Oxford University with lived experience of psychosis. Sign up via eventbrite here
