SUMMARY:FREE Public Talk – Can electrodes in the brain treat chronic pain?
DESCRIPTION:Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a recognised way of tackling tremors in people with Parkinson’s disease. Now this technique – delivering an electrical pulse into the brain – is being explored as a potential treatment for other neurological conditions. \nA new study is looking at whether DBS can help to treat chronic pain in people who have suffered a stroke. Central post-stroke pain is a disabling – and currently untreatable – condition which affects areas of the brain and central nervous system that process pain signals. \nIn this public talk\, Alex Green\, Professor of Neurosurgery\, and Ben Seymour\, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience\, will discuss the EPIONE study\, which is investigating whether DBS could be used to treat CPSP\, and discuss whether DBS might be a way of tackling other brain-related conditions.\nThe EPIONE study (Effective Pain Interventions with Neural Engineering) is supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford and Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centres (BRC)\, who are jointly organising this talk. \nFREE entry\, no booking required. \nRefreshments from 5.40pm\, for a 6pm start. \n

SUMMARY:Hidden in plain sight – retinal imaging data for AI-driven early detection of systemic diseases and augmentation of drug discovery
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Wen Hwa Lee – CEO \nCompany: Foresight Research Ltd. \nDescription:  Recent advances in ophthalmology have shown that retinal images can detect much more than ocular disorders. Retinal imaging can identify early signs of systemic diseases like Alzheimer’s\, Parkinson’s\, diabetes\, and cardiovascular (heart) conditions\, often years before traditional symptoms appear. This emerging field\, known as Oculomics\, shows the eye’s potential as a window into overall health. \nCharity-owned Foresight Research Ltd. aims to collect community-level\, pre-disease data from hundreds-of-thousands participants\, through a UK-wide network of optical practices. Through collaborations with national health research initiatives\, they plan to build comprehensive datasets from early-stage and healthy participants – and make these accessible for industry and academic researchers working on healthcare innovation (biomedical\, AI\, health economics\, etc.). These datasets will be fundamental for enabling prevention and early interception of various ocular and systemic diseases. \n  \nTo register for the seminar: please click on the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/PhiXJre8i1
