JISCMail - PSCI-COM Archives

James,

Sounds interesting. If I lived nearby, I'd be tempted to come along. Put me in mind of - and I wonder if you've read it - Richard Powers's novel 'The Echo Maker' - about a man diagnozed with Capgras syndrome after a head injury in a road accident and much more.

Kind regards,

Chris

Subject: [PSCI-COM] What's going on in my head?

Apologies for cross posting

List members might be interested in an event I am running next week in London and I would love your feedback if you come along.

"What's going on in his head?"

James Piercy was involved in a serious road traffic accident on 30th January 2011. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and spent nearly two months in hospital including time at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH), Addenbrookes and the Colman Hospital. Now, almost fully recovered, James will be telling his story and hopes that others can learn from his experience.

James’ talk entitled “What’s going on in his head?” will be taking place on Thursday 7th February at 3.00pm at the Drayton Court Hotel The Avenue West Ealing

During this talk James will take you on a journey which promises to be a funny, shocking and sometimes emotional experience. There will also be a chance to find out about the monitoring and treatment of head injury, just how much we really know about our brains and the impact of this 'hidden disability'.
