Dr Pavlou will talk about The Science of Lucid Dreaming: Exploring Phenomenology, Neurophysiology, Applications, and Induction Techniques: In this talk, we will delve into the fascinating world of lucid dreaming research. Lucid dreaming (LD) is an unusual sleep phenomenon whereby the dreamer becomes aware that they are dreaming and can actively influence their dream experiences. We will examine the distinct phenomenological and neurophysiological characteristics of LD, discuss its potential applications, and explore the diverse techniques employed to induce such dreams.
Dr Garcia will talk about The Role of cognitive neuroscience and psychology in the Advancement of Emerging technologies: The talk will explore the role of cognitive neuroscience and psychology in advancing emerging technologies such as eye-tracking, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and virtual reality (VR). These technologies have significant potential to improve mental health outcomes and enhance psychological interventions.
