Trial venue: Following the closure of the Vale Inn, the March SciBar will be held at the C**k and Pheasant, Bollington SK10 5EJ

Date: Monday 9 March 6.30pm

Title: Adventure Neuroscience – How the Brain Responds to Extreme Challenge in the Wild

Speaker: Dave Gallagher, Chartered Psychologist and Adventure Neuroscientist

Cognitive Psychologist and Neuroscientist Dave Gallagher examines how humans perform under intense stress in real-world high-challenge settings, from mountaineering and cave diving to BASE jumping and high-risk work environments. Drawing on established research in stress physiology, brain organisation and cognitive control — alongside his own attempts to study these processes “in the wild” — he explores what is currently known about how the brain manages fear, focus and decision-making when the stakes are high, and how this can benefit anyone without the need to go to such extremes.

Talk begins 6.30pm prompt – arrive early to be sure of a seat. All welcome, no charge!
