SUMMARY:‘Morning Tea & Learn’ with Dr Greydon Gilmore
DESCRIPTION:Join this event to hear from Dr Greydon Gilmore\, a Canadian neurophysiology expert visiting Perth to connect with WA’s biomedical community.\n\n\n\n\nThis talk will highlight Greydon’s innovative work developing open-source software to help neurosurgeons plan and evaluate surgical procedures. The goal was to make these tools more practical\, accurate\, and easier to use in real clinical settings. By bringing together medical imaging\, brain signal data\, and software development\, this work aimed to translate complex research methods into real world tools that can directly support patient care. More broadly\, it shows the entrepreneurial opportunity to build surgical technologies that can improve precision and create new opportunities for innovation in healthcare. \nThis event is ideal for researchers\, clinicians\, and innovators interested in neurophysiology\, imaging\, biomedical engineering\, or translational neuroscience.
