Introduction
I am currently researching and teaching innovation. I have co-authored a new book that is to be released next month titled 'The future of Intelligent Transport Systems’ published by Elsevier. I am very interested to find out how neuroscience can help us to learn better. It is my belief that having a better understanding of our brain can help us not only learn better but to help us to find out if we can reactivate new brain cells to help people with memory loss. I love research because it is
