Keynote & Agenda

Our keynote speaker is Professor Adam Zeman, BMBCh MA DM FRC, trained in Medicine at Oxford University Medical School. He served as a Consultant Neurologist in Edinburgh from 1996 to 2005, and subsequently as Professor of Neurology at Exeter University Medical School from 2005 to 2023. Prof. Zeman also served as Chairman of the British Neuropsychiatry Association from 2007 to 2011. His clinical work has focused on cognitive and behavioural neurology, including neurological disorders of sleep. 

His research interests span amnesia associated with epilepsy and disorders of visual imagery. With a longstanding interest in the science and philosophy of consciousness, Prof. Zeman has published several comprehensive reviews of the field, as well as an accessible introduction for general readers, Consciousness: A User’s Guide (Yale University Press, 2002). He is also the author of A Portrait of the Brain (Yale, 2008), and co-editor of Ethical Dilemmas in Neurology (W.B. Saunders, 2000), and Epilepsy and Memory (Oxford University Press, 2012).  His most recent book, The Shape of Things Unseen: A New Science of Imagination (Bloomsbury, 2025), explores the emerging science of imagination, marking the beginning of a new phase of work on “extreme imagery.”
