On Friday, March 20, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, at the Aula Magna of Collegio Cairoli (Piazza Cairoli, Pavia), the event “Brain Health on Stage: From Diagnosis to Treatment of Cognitive Deficits – A Dialogue between Language, Brain, and Artificial Intelligence” will take place as part of Brain Awareness Week 2026.

When the brain, language, and memory begin to show difficulties in their normal functioning, it is time to take action and rethink strategies. Today, innovative methodologies can help reactivate connections and restore cognitive functions.

Artificial Intelligence represents a valuable tool across all phases of intervention — from early diagnosis to rehabilitation and ongoing support.

The event will feature an open, multi-voice dialogue with the audience, including practical demonstrations, offering an opportunity to explore a topic that concerns us all.
