Tinnitus affects 1 in 7 people. Often described as a buzzing or ringing sound, it can make life difficult.

Dr Lucy Handscomb has developed a new app, MindEar, to help people with the condition avoid negative thinking.

A combination of learning more about tinnitus, reframing negative thoughts, changing behaviours and practising mindfulness helps people to change their relationship with their noises.

Professor Pearse Keane is using artificial intelligence to investigate how the eye's retinal tissue can help diagnose dementia.

#BrainAwarenessWeek #UCLBrainSciences #BAW2025 @uclbrainscience.bsky.social
For more than 100 years, doctors have known that the eyes can be used as a window to the rest of the body. Now, thanks to the power of AI and big data, we can find information hidden within retinal images and use this information to pick up early signs of neurodegenerative diseases.

Today marks the start of #BrainAwarenessWeek, a global celebration of the incredible advancements in brain research.

Dr Arman Eshaghi is working on developing an AI tool called MS-PINPOINT that helps predict MS symptom changes and effective drugs for MS.

@uclbrainscience.bsky.social
The chance to use technology to improve patient care and understand complex brain diseases like MS continues to inspire my work. MS is a highly complex disease. AI has the potential to help scientists ask fundamental questions about the disease and get answers.

The Institute of Healthcare Engineering team held our away day at the stunning UCL East campus yesterday.

For blue-sky thinking (quite literally), it was the perfect setting!
