Part 2-Live from ISCN-Breakthrough Moments in Brain Science- Episode 66
In this episode of The Neuro Collective Podcast, we take you inside the 2025 International Symposium of Clinical Neuroscience (ISCN), where leading experts from around the world gathered to share innovations at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and clinical application.
We dive into the fascinating topic of the Eye-Brain Connectome—exploring how eye movements serve as powerful biomarkers for brain health and how groundbreaking technology from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute is changing the way we understand neurological conditions like ADHD, Parkinson’s, and dementia.
You’ll also hear about advanced goggle-based diagnostics developed by Dr. Alex Kiderman, currently in use on the International Space Station, and how AI is helping us detect invisible patterns across massive health datasets. Learn why responsible AI training, data cleaning, and bias management are crucial for healthcare breakthroughs.
We wrap up with an inspiring conversation about storytelling in psychiatry with Dr. Hank from the UK, who reminds us that “a story is data with a soul.” He introduces the concept of becoming an expert through personal and professional experience (EPPE), bridging clinical science with human empathy.
This episode blends high-level science with deeply human insight, showing how technology and storytelling together can redefine the future of brain health.
Key Topics:
- Eye-Brain Connectome and its clinical relevance
- AI in neuroscience: identifying invisible patterns
- Space-developed technology for brain diagnostics
- Storytelling as therapeutic and scientific tool
- EPPE: Expert by Personal and Professional Experience
