After an accident left her with traumatic brain injury (TBI), Cognitive Neuroscience Master's student Esra de Ruiter began experiencing neurological symptoms she had previously only encountered in textbooks. Living with conditions such as prosopagnosia (face blindness), she found herself navigating the world with a brain that worked differently.
In her talk, Esra combines personal experience with neuroscience to give a rare inside perspective on traumatic brain injury. Through her story, as well as her own MRI, fMRI, and eye-tracking data, she reveals what living with such brain injury really feels like.
Join us at the next Radboud NeurotechEU Synapse event in an effort to make the science behind TBI more tangible, bridging the gap between research and patient experience, and to raise awareness of the often invisible impact of brain injury.
