Why you lose hearing after exposure to loud sounds

Dr Francesca De Faveri (Research Associate at the Hearing Research Lab)

Dr Samuel Webb (Research Associate at the Hearing Research Lab)

Hearing is the main sensation for social experience. It allows us to communicate effectively, as well as listen to music and television. In this talk we explore how our hearing works and the mechanisms that are responsible for deafness induced by exposure to loud sounds.

Mental health and human rights: Can a person be considered dangerous on the basis of their illnesses?

Dr Maria Teresa Ferazzoli (Researcher, psychology/mental health)

Can a person be considered dangerous on the basis of their illnesses and how does this impact our human rights? By looking at real case studies from the past including the use of Asylum during Fascism in Italy and examples from the present mental health system in the UK, we will reflect how health laws can impact on the individual right to health and what are the potential risks for our freedom.

How to stop worrying

Dr Cameron Pattinson (Researcher, psychology/mental Health)

Do you find yourself worrying a lot? Do you go over and over things in your head just to feel prepared for anything? Do you find your brain firing up while you're trying to sleep? Come and learn about the psychology of worry, and how to stop spending all of your time locked in that cycle of worry!
