How does the brain act as a prediction machine and how does it process unexpected events? Researchers at SWC have been studying sensory prediction errors using two-photon calcium imaging and optogenetics to take us a step closer to understanding both the nature of prediction error signals as well as the mechanisms by which they arise.

How do I know if my students are already using ChatGPT? Can we differentiate between AI and student responses? Could AI be a useful teaching tool in science? These were some of the most common questions teachers submitted ahead of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre’s very first event for teachers.

Following on from 2021 and 2022, SWC has received a third Gold award as part of the Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF). We look back on our sustainability efforts, big and small, over the years and look ahead to more initiatives to come.
