Nora/ICBO 2010 Conference

I recently had the opportunity to attend the ICBO Conference of behavioural optometry in California. During the conference a lot of interesting topics were covered, from brain Injury to children’s vision care. http://www.2010icbo.org/content/welcome-icbo-2010-website

The highlight of my trip was to meet the distinguished V.S Ramachandran.

V.S. Ramachandran is Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition and Professor with the Psychology Department and Neurosciences Program at the University of California, San Diego, and Adjunct Professor of Biology at the Salk Institute. Ramachandran’s early work was on visual perception but he is best known for his experiments in behavioral neurology which, despite their apparent simplicity, have had a profound impact on the way we think about the brain.

Ramachandran has published over 180 papers in scientific journals. He is author of the acclaimed book “Phantoms in the Brain” NEWSWEEK magazine has named him a member of “The Century Club” – one of the “hundred most prominent people to watch in the next century.”

Have a look at hi website for more information about his astonishing work about the human brain. http://cbc.ucsd.edu/ramabio.html
