The BrainCore Podcast

Tolu Faromika, along with special guests, takes students and the general public to the core of new Psychology and Neuroscience research in this educative podcast. What can you do with Psychology? Do you ever wonder if you can mix interests? Psychology and Video Games? Neuroscience and Technology? Every 2 months, we'll shine the light on a subfield/intersection involving both topics! Each episode introduces you to something you perhaps never thought was possible!
