ICN 30th Anniversary highlights 🧠👀
Looking back on our 30th anniversary conference a few weeks ago, we brought together researchers, students, alumni, and collaborators for two inspiring days celebrating three decades of discovery and collaboration. The event honoured the ICN’s origins while showcasing the exciting research and ideas shaping cognitive neuroscience today—and tomorrow.
Founded in 1996 by Professor Tim Shallice, the ICN continues to thrive on its interdisciplinary spirit, spanning psychology, neuroscience, clinical research, and computational approaches. With keynote talks from Sarah‑Jayne Blakemore, Timothy Rogers, Camilla Nord, and Masud Hussain, the programme highlighted both innovation and impact.
As we enter our fourth decade, conversations around mental health, lifespan research, and societal impact reinforced our commitment to forward‑thinking, responsible science. ✨

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
