Join Us for Tourette Talks: An Evening with World-Leading Tic Researchers

If you or someone you know is interested in the latest breakthroughs in Tourette Syndrome research, Tourette Talks is an event you won’t want to miss. Hosted by the University of Nottingham’s at the Institute of Mental Health, this free evening will bring together some of the world’s foremost experts in tic disorders for an engaging and insightful discussion.

Whether you’re attending in person or tuning in online, you’ll gain firsthand insights into cutting-edge research, emerging therapies, and innovative technologies changing the landscape of Tourette Syndrome treatment.

One of the highlights will be a presentation by Professor Stephen Jackson, a leading neuroscientist from the University of Nottingham and one of the driving forces behind Neupulse. His talk, 'Developing a wearable non-invasive brain stimulation device for tic disorder', will explore how science and technology are coming together to deliver real-world solutions for those living with tics.
