Preparations are underway for the spookiest night of the year. But why do we love being scared out of our minds? NeuRA Senior Research Fellow, Dr Steve Kassem, is available to answer this question and more. Afterall, brains aren’t scary, they’re spectacular, so let’s breakdown the ick and explore the incredible!
Dr Kassem has qualifications in neuroscience and psychology and is passionate about science communication. His knowledge is matched by his enthusiasm for how the brain works.
Dr Kassem works in NeuRA's Brain Mapping Laboratory, a specialised facility that produces detailed atlases illustrating the regions and tracts of the human brain. Dr Kassem works to map the brain, to improve our understanding of the different regions of the brain, how they look and how they interact with each other.
