Hi everyone! 👋 We’re now on Bluesky! Follow us for more updates at [@marcsinstitute.bsky.social]. #Bluesky

We were thrilled to welcome Prof George Williams AO, VC of @westernsydneyu, to MARCS Institute! The VC chatted to our researchers about the exciting work in #childdevelopment, #neuromorphic research, #biomedical engineering, & #musicscience. Thanks for your support & insights!

🎉 Congrats to PhD Candidate, Almudena, for winning the Outstanding Presentation Award at the 2024 #ACNS conference! Topic: #ObjectRecognition Under Occlusion During Rapid Serial Visual Presentations. 👏 #Neuroscience #MARCSHDR tinyurl.com/AlmudenaRamirezH…

Despite Australia’s diversity, only 9% of Year 12 students study languages. ✨Newly funded ARC Discovery Project will explore how #polyglots manage multiple languages. The goal: improve #language #education nationwide. 🔗 tinyurl.com/2fda6wy5 @westernsydneyu @arc_gov_au

An inspiring morning at Parramatta Library for #InternationalDayForPeopleWithADisability! We shared our #MemoryAid project, engaged in #dementia care discussions, and connected with the local community. 💜 Thanks to everyone who joined us and @parralibrary for organising!

🌎As #languages disappear, so do parts of a #community’s identity and culture. ✨Newly funded ARC Discovery Project will explore the impact of preserving #Indigenous languages in Papua New Guinea and beyond. 🔗tinyurl.com/2fda6wy5 @arc_gov_au @westernsydneyu

Music communicates emotions across cultures, but how much is universal vs cultural? ✨Newly funded ARC Discovery Project will explore music's impact on #health, #wellbeing, and the global #music industry. 🔗tinyurl.com/2fda6wy5 @andy_tonality @westernsydneyu @arc_gov_au

Newly funded ARC Discovery Project will unlock the secrets of how children learn and provide parents & educators with insights to support #childdevelopment. ✨Looking forward to transforming #education in Australia, one discovery at a time! @DrQuekles @westernsydneyu @arc_gov_au
