Welcome back to The Neuro Collective Podcast with your host, May Bagnell.

In today’s heartfelt solo episode, May dives deep into a mindset shift we all need from time to time: What if you're not actually stuck... you're just stuck in your thinking?

Whether you’re navigating a tough career decision, feeling burnt out in a role you love, or facing long-term challenges with your health or relationships—this episode offers a powerful reframe: Stop waiting for things to get better. Start creating something better.

Through real coaching insights, personal stories, and practical strategies, May unpacks how overwhelm and emotional “tug-of-war” moments can cloud our direction. She offers a three-step focus strategy to help you:

• Recenter your thoughts,
• Rekindle appreciation,
• And regain emotional clarity about where you're headed and who you want to be.

You'll also hear a powerful metaphor involving a train, a reminder to course-correct before you go too far down the wrong track—plus a beautiful reflection on hope and why imagining possibilities is essential to healing and forward momentum.

✨ If you're craving clarity, inspiration, or just a small push to reset your week—this episode is your gentle reminder that you have agency, you have options, and you can feel stronger again.

In this episode of The Neuro Collective Podcast, we take you inside the 2025 International Symposium of Clinical Neuroscience (ISCN), where leading experts from around the world gathered to share innovations at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and clinical application.

We dive into the fascinating topic of the Eye-Brain Connectome—exploring how eye movements serve as powerful biomarkers for brain health and how groundbreaking technology from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute is changing the way we understand neurological conditions like ADHD, Parkinson’s, and dementia.

You’ll also hear about advanced goggle-based diagnostics developed by Dr. Alex Kiderman, currently in use on the International Space Station, and how AI is helping us detect invisible patterns across massive health datasets. Learn why responsible AI training, data cleaning, and bias management are crucial for healthcare breakthroughs.

We wrap up with an inspiring conversation about storytelling in psychiatry with Dr. Hank from the UK, who reminds us that “a story is data with a soul.” He introduces the concept of becoming an expert through personal and professional experience (EPPE), bridging clinical science with human empathy.

This episode blends high-level science with deeply human insight, showing how technology and storytelling together can redefine the future of brain health.

Key Topics:

• Eye-Brain Connectome and its clinical relevance
• AI in neuroscience: identifying invisible patterns
• Space-developed technology for brain diagnostics
• Storytelling as therapeutic and scientific tool
• EPPE: Expert by Personal and Professional Experience
