Prof Adam Gazzaley will present his research about
A New Era of Experiential Medicine: From Video Games to AI and Psychedelics. For millennia, humans have engaged in practices to enrich their lives and promote mental well-being, such as meditation and mindfulness. Despite this rich history and its foundation in the science of neuroplasticity, most people do not think of experiences as medicine, certainly not in the same way that they view pills. Dr. Gazzaley will share his two decades of research into advancing technology-based experiences as medicine for the mind. Notably, he will present his pioneering inventions of closed-loop video games as the first FDA-approved video game treatments. He will then explore the next generation of experiential medicine that integrates advancements in artificial intelligence with sensory immersion, multimodal physiological recordings, non-invasive brain stimulation, and psychedelics to enhance human cognition.
Following the presentation, a discussion on the topics covered will take place.
The seminar awards training credits to doctoral students.
